Ya' know, I don't despise that picture at all. It's somewhat amusing really, as I know that Road Queen had all it wanted on its ass that day! And I do mean "all." With Harry at about 300, and Ol' Hub at 275, my thoughts were about the rear tire makin' it back to my FEATHERLITE, not ridin' bitch, you bunch of classless clowns. Anyway, it is what it is, and it was nuthin' but too much heat and too much timing. Maybelle has since had the timing retarded, and nothing else, so we'll see how she runs in March. I may get busted, and probably will, with Sneaky Pete and Harry spending huge wads of cash to stay up front, but at least I will twist it 'till it changes tunes. Oh yeah, I did have the chip set from 6200 to 6500, when I retarded the timing a little. And put 2 New Elites on her, too. That stopped the high-speed wobble it had developed at around 3000 miles on the original tires. And if it comes apart, it comes apart, and I'll build another one. I may just leave it at Sachs this time, and see if he can build one that will stand me. One Ol Boy from Roanoke had Swindle Johnson build him one on a Street Glide that bragged about 150 HP. We turned them loose gettin' off 581 onto 81S, and I busted his ass so quick, he turned off at the next exit and shot me the bird! Hehehe. I've never put too much faith in dyno-sheets, as Don Tilley once told me you can make them say anything. It's what they'll do when you call on 'em that matters. Whether they stay together, or not. I've destroyed a bunch of Motors since 1972, but I've had a lot of fun. Laughin', poutin', and cussin'! Who gives a chit, anyway? If you phuck with a motor, it's eventually gonna' come apart. That's a natural fact. There endeth the lesson. Later--HUBBARD
