not the cleanest-looking bike ever, but pretty nice. he wants to turbo a busa for his next project though? dude must have a deathwish. ---

Alot of it though is finding a nut who actually wants to jump on it and do the best they can holding it straight down a drag strip for 4 seconds and hope to god they don’t spill! Those things make a ton of power. I know there is skill behind what they are doing but you just have to think that it seems like their basically just hangin on for the ride. ---

if may seem like they are just hanging out for the ride, but its obviously way more than just that. ---
