Damn, it must hurt to walk around with all that weight between your legs, cause you have balls of steel!

Nice

looks tight through those trees

would love to try one of those

[SJ]Minorshunt · « **Reply #7 on:** June 17, 2009, 12:57:13 am »

Wow! Impressive.

Sounds like a fair size bike motor under the hood hmmm? How did you rig the running gear?

[SJ]mr.peabody · « **Reply #8 on:** June 17, 2009, 01:57:52 am »

Its a '04 Suzuki gsxr 1000 motor turned sideways with the exhaust facing out the left. Where the sprocket would be on a bike, there is a drive flange hooked to a driveshaft going out back to a narrowed toyota rear end. It uses the stock bike transmission-6 speed sequential-no clutch needed. Weight with me in it is 1200lbs.-power is about 150 hp--12,500 rpm redline.

I know mate, just kidding.
Nobody can think technical at Alfatina, can't blame 'em eh?

Dunno about anyone else, but I really get a grin out of Sherm's 'dour' manner ... "OK, so let's bring it back to Tits and Tequila then eh?" ... my favourite quote of all time

... Don't get me wrong Sherm.. there's still a big fat target pasted all over your rear end

[SJ]AlarmedBread · « **Reply #16 on:** June 17, 2009, 11:09:18 pm »

Fantastic!

[SJ]mr.peabody · « **Reply #17 on:** June 18, 2009, 01:24:12 am »

Its strange that I come across as 'dour' over the mic--that is the LAST thing whoever has met me would consider that the word to use.

And yes-I can tell you how to degree cams while staggering + slurring my words-I'm sure I have at some point during a hill weekend.

I credit all my practice time on GTL worth about 5 seconds a run on the hill-plus it has made my brain work at a different pace. It used to be I would blast up a hill and not really know what i did to get there-now a run seems like its in slow motion. One bad? side affect: when i'm loose + mentally ready for a run, A song pops into my head. I never have a choice what actually comes up-sometimes it good some times its just strange. And yes-the Simjunkies Polka came up once.

[SJ]CasparGTL · « **Reply #18 on:** June 18, 2009, 07:59:12 am »

GTL helps you to get faster...
You get the Polka in your head while driving...

I hereby proclaim the Simjunkie of the month: She'm!

This is wonderful stuff!

[SJ]AlarmedBread · « **Reply #19 on:** June 18, 2009, 01:51:26 pm »

Hah, I hear you there! It is awesome to show up to a new track and already know where you want to be, your first warmup laps at 7/10, up to 9/10 by the end of the first session.

The other funny thing is when there is someone in the car with me, we will chat a little. Often times I will be chatting mid drift and not miss a beat, SJ has made me a much more calm and collected communicator while in car.

[SJ]CasparGTL · « **Reply #20 on:** June 18, 2009, 04:34:32 pm »

That is SO cool!

Hey, wait a minute.
Wasn't I watched in awe by some youngsters waiting for the bus when I securely yet smoothly slammed and serpentined the CX past a roundabout yesterday after work?
I was, it surely is GTL that is to blame, hahaha.

[SJ]Stein · « **Reply #21 on:** June 19, 2009, 03:53:06 am »

I guess that does qualify as a "steinways"

well done Sherm, just dont do it on purpose.... cause i dont want you to get hurt! (as i've had some "training incidents" and yours is real life..)

Betcha cant hit escape on that fast f*cker!

Woof ~ Woof
