Hello from Kentucky! (pics, vids)
Hello from Kentucky! First, let me thank everyone for providing such a great resource for those of us who are just getting started.
I don't have a motored bike (yet,) but I am working on it. I've got a full suspension Mongoose that I'm prepping for either a belt or chain-driven rack mount setup in the (hopefully) near future.
I've always enjoyed making things faster than they ought to be. I currently have two other toys that have been modified for additional speed - a '92 Eagle Talon TSi with an EVO III 16G turbo + supporting mods, and a '97 Mazda Miata with a GT2860RS turbo + supporting mods, suspension work, and a 6-point cage. I sometimes run the Talon at the local drag races and I'm planning on running the Miata in some SCCA events this summer (I've run a few events in it previously, but not since the addition of the forced induction.)
I'll keep everyone posted on the progress of my build. I haven't ordered any engine or drivetrain parts yet, but I've got some new tires, thorn-resistant tubes, Mr. Tuffy tire liners, bar-end mirrors, a suspension seatpost, and a digital speedometer on the way. I'm hoping that the Mongoose will eventually be as much fun as my other two modes of transportation!
Pictures and videos below:
Talon vs. LS1 GTO and then against a new Subaru WRX
Talon vs. Acura NSX
Talon vs. modified Altima 3.5
