dekker Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Well I spent the day up at silver today... wont be able to go over the holiday weekend seems HOPE College is the only college in the country that has school Monday. Anyway, it wasnt a bad turnout for a monday. Did a little racing after finally getting my stuff all working good, all and all i beat a 450 of every make so i was feeling pretty good about myself and my 1980s technology, well the end of the day was coming around and i met these guys that were all the way up from Boston. We got to talking and riding a little bit, and they asked me to race their buddy. He had a 450R ported head cam pipe etc... they had been looking for people to drag all day so I said what the hell lets do it. So I do a few warm up passes race one of his buddys on a shee with t5's dont know what else but i beat him good so i was like ok lets do this. I didnt really know what to expect because I had not raced a worked up 450 ... anyway the flag dropped and i had him right out of the hole he hung with me till 3rd and I started to pull away by the end of the race i was a good 8 bike lengths ahead. They were shocked as hell and im not gonna lie so was I but it fealt great. At days end the good ol shee never lost to a 4 poke. Just fealt like sharing.. Whish I could be there this weekend -Zach :happy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badassbanshee479 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 bummer!! is the drag strip under water?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Sounds like you had one hell of a time racing that thing. It's amazing how much a port job wakes up a bike. I can keep up with some 250 dirtbikes. Gotta love the shock and awe aspect of a ported shee :woot: I cant imagine how it feels to ride a ported cub though. yikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coupelx Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 honda 450r seems to run slow for what they are. I get spanked by every other 450 but i have beat every 450r, even warmed over ones, that i have raced. I figured for supposedly being lighter they would be quciker than what they are.
