Looks like a nice ride, but why did you stop the video when the Fountain was passing you up? :)

With a cruiser you have to plane for the entire day with a go fast I can get to the marina late and still have time to get to the island before sundown or go to lunch by boat in a lunch hour lol

I started slowing down then the Fountain took a left in a diferent direction. You can hear me pull back off the throttles at the end of the video. But i think the point was made :) all in good fun. My friend who owns the Fountain was more shocked than anything.
You sir have one bad ass cruiser and a sweet roost!!!! If I went cruiser one day when Im 90 and moving to Florida, thats what I`d want. :ernaehrung004: |

When I was young I was taught to respect the bike that you throw a leg over, because it can kill you. So I have always had that mentality, I would never street race or anything like that. So hp and speed was always respected. I owned a streetbike for 2 weeks thought I would kill myself. So with a boat with the HP #s that are claimed and running wide open and hitting a wake the wrong way. I have no experience in this boating world that is why I was asking the Question. It might not be anything and just me. As far as the NHRA I was very lucky to work in the machine shop and learn from one of the best guys. Attention to detail because your work is the hands of a driver who puts his life on the line.
