Hey Soren,
I understand about the cup of tea. I hope everyone is as understanding as y'all here on this forum have been. I agree with the sentiments...it's just important to understand who I am, where I come from and the one chance at the rodeo to do something I always dreamed of doing. I wanted to blow it out. I took the smallest displacement bike in the competition (cruiser/rookie class anyway...possibly the entire series) and made that engine the focal point instead of trying to cover it up. I didn't whine about it (much) and I dug deep inside to draw up this design from the beginning. It's pretty amazing to look at that drawing today and realize what I went through to get the bike on the floor and then to Vegas on time. And the best part...I feel if I can do it...anyone can.
