    Lol Well then, all that racing we do at the track pays off in the long run, means u have the right set up now and know how to ride it!!!! Tuning the bike will always be needed to be tuned with shock, hight to keep the bike down and strait, clutch setup's and weather and the list goes on and on!!!!
    U will always learn new thing about your bike and new setup's at diffent tracks!!! It's how to make the bike run the same numbers ever time!!
    This year u will see a big change in the setup, well what u got, all the right parts the first time.. so ya, your on the right path to ur goal.

    I would love to go the the Dragstip but I would be shy if people were watching me do runs for the first time. I like my bike pretty my stock engine wise so I wouldn't be impressing anyone. And suppose I get nervous and stall on the take off? lol. I would be soooo embarassed.

    Trust me bud....lol....Everyone has had to do it there first time...My own boy who rides a 2006 636 took to the track last year for the first time(18yrs old last year)....he was shy,but after going down the strip for the first time the butterflies were gone...Feel free to come and ask us guys, that you might see as more seasoned for some tips...Would be more than glad to help you out...Friday nights are a great time to come out and learn... Hope to see you and your riding pals give it a shot!!!

    Absolutely no worries at all. There are always regular street riders at the Friday night test-and-tunes and everyone starts somewhere. Last year I took my street bike down the strip for the first time ever with ZERO set-up for drag racing (and only because we got it for free when entering the SOAR weekend). Bring it out!

    My mods are non-drag related, but I'm pretty excited nonetheless. Hyperflo exhaust system. Tripage led passenger pegs, tech spec snakeskin canister pads and some rim tape. Bike should look completely different!

    I am most excited to have air shift this year.
    Can't wait to hear the new exhaust too. Megaphone.
    Went with Macintosh swing arm as well.
