Holy cow Chief!! That is soooooo COOL!

Makes me wonder if the $12K I spent on my drag motor was an unwise choice..... the aircooled 2332cc only puts out 300hp. Below is a couple pictures of the Suicide Ride.


Btw, technically, shouldn't the title to this thread be "Burn some rubber" not peel.....?
