    HA!

    i'm willing to bet that's WAY past my "pee my pants" threshhold.

    i've done 150 in a car. i can't imagine doing even that on a bike.

    yowza.

    Went out and looked at the bike. Yep, the rear of the seat is higher than stock. I had to fabricate the mount when I put the dual seat on, and I used the same length spacers as the solo seat, probably don't need spacers at all.

    Easy enough to fix: get shorter screws, and take out the spacers. I'll probably do it later.

    Dan, get your skills up, then next spring we need to do keith code superbike school. Anybody who can drive a Ferrari 180+ needs to supplement their need for speed with a superbike AND the skills to actually use it. Put 1K - 3K miles on your bike and join me next year for KC. The Reno-Fernley track will have 2.5 miles of fresh new material that will be worthy of your attention. -m

    Had a good ride with Mike and my friend Jay on Sunday. they both know the road pretty well, but I was, for the most part, able to stay with them, they were riding pretty easy. Going to do it again in two weeks. Should be fun. You ought to think about getting more seat time.

    Dan, here's one of my rides on the KC camera bike. On this run they required 3 & 4th gears only, no brakes. But you can get the idea. Obviously more work needed next year - Mike
