OMG That would have to be a blast. You ever do any over night camp trips out in the desert Dale?

May take ya up on that offer some day Dale,
I'd love to see your shop.
I like them Bandit motors , I've built a couple of them for mini sprint guys , if my memory is right Im thinking we used 88 GSXR 750 cams set at 102 on the intake and 106 on the exhaust , but I'd have to look in my notes to be sure. Wasn't the bandit what Brock was riding when he went the first 7 second street legal pass? I've seen pics of it and thought it looked like a highly modded Bandit.
Take care,
TB

Hi TB
Yeah the 750 or 1100 cams make about the same power, Ive tested them both quite a bit. I run the 1100s and thats what I sell since Ive done all my tuning with those. Your real close on your numbers also. I run 104 - 106 real close to what you have. This makes the best spread of power top to bottom on those motors.

Oh yeah I know all about Brock on his 7 second bandit street legal ,,,,,,, pretty much pro street bike a few years ago.

Bad ass and he is a great rider

Back in 87 I went 8:00 , 7:96 and finally a 7:91 on the GS based my / Kosman pro street bike with a small slick. Was not street legal though but I guess it could have been and made it 25 miles ........ well maybe ...... lol

Have a good day

Dale

Dale ,
What you and Brock did on them old Bandits is insanely impressive , 7 seconds on bikes that could be street legal in 1987....WOW.
You guys were obviously on top of your game , shoot there are guys today that cant do that on lengthend and modded ZX14's and Busa's.
Thats just the difference in someone that's an expert tuner such as Brock and yourself.
Alot of people don't realize that you guys are not just parts salesmen , you guys were very sucessful racers and innovators of alot of drag race parts today.

Later,
TB

Since I don't have a bike anymore...

Watched the video didnt read the part at first it was you and a cousin made me go back and watch it after just skimming through parts really cool sorry just a little laugh for ya! Tyler

Tyler, no matter. Well, it's mostly a work related injury, but riding the Max doesn't help much !

I can understand you having a laugh at our expense! I really don't mind!

Sun, 29 Jan 2012 23:51:11 +0000

Yeah, they claim nearly 200 HP in the ad, but a quick check at a couple sites, including Motor Trends test of this vehicle shows the Camry is only making 156 WHP. But does get up to 41 MPG. I think the only time it is going to pass anything is when everyone else is at the station filling up. Us Maxers more than most. Ha ha!

Friends Medical Condition

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:26:04 +0000

Hey Capt sorry to hear about your friend. I would not try and speculate on the results of the MRI, it could be as simple as a really bad migrain to menigitis to a bleed or anyerism or tumor etc, the list can go on. When did he have a cat scan, the fact the result from the CT never showed anything significant is a good sign. I have transported more then one pt in my rig that has presented his symptoms and 90% of the time it was a bad migrain.
Hope it turns out to be nothing and he is OK, wish him well.

I still remember rolling around in my friend's front lawn doubled over with a serious case of the dry heaves for about ten minutes and everyone laughing at me because I did the exact same thing the kid in that pic is doing. Went over a ramp on my bike, feet splayed off the pedals in panic followed by a very unpleasant landing. Oooooo... MAN, that hurt.

Congradulations Joey! This is def. going to be different. Get all your mod's done now and get all the sleep you can as well. Once the baby comes you'll be doing little to none of either of those. lol

New GoPro HD HERO2 & WiFi BacPac & Remote

Looks great....did I miss any mentions of cost expectations?

---Darel

You didn't miss anything, just found a price today. It's supposed to be the same price as the 3D Hero system, $99.99. Pricey, but less aggrivation

than having to go through the menus and recording manually.

From Pocket-Lint.com:

Want to hear about more accessories to make the GoPro HD Hero2 even more awesome than it already is? Of course you do.
Over in the city of Sin at International CES 2012, the Woodman Labs owned company was keen to show off the latest trick up its extreme sleeve - the GoPro Wi-Fi BacPac and Remote Combo kit.

As you've probably gathered from the name, the BacPac part of the duo adds Wi-Fi connectivity to your sporty little camera, making it easier to hook it up to your PC or mobile device. But it's when paired with the wristwatch-like Remote that things really get a little tasty.

And that's because the BacPac, which slots onto the back of the HD Hero2 making it only slightly bulkier, can create its own Wi-Fi network, enabling long range video remote control via the Wi-Fi Remote or a smartphone, tablet, or computer running the free GoPro App.

So that means you can hit the waves, slopes, trails or any other gnarly location with easier control from your wrist or even let a friend take care of the controls from a distance. We're told that it has a range of 100-300m depending on conditions and the BacPac also supports live streaming so your pals can watch your extreme action unfold in real-time.

You can even record one video stream to your camera's SD card whilst sending a second one via Wi-Fi to your smart-device, computer or the web.

Out in February, the price in the US is set to be $99.99. No word on a UK price yet - we'll keep you posted.
