but we finally did it friday morning. I can't even imagine how many thousand hours we each have invested in our motorcycle, but now that we finally have the world record it actually all seemes worth it. We have crashed twice at over 300 Mph and had to rebuild the thing, those crashes can be found on youtube doing a search for "ACK Attack." I can't even discribe the feeling when we finally did it, I would imagine it was something like what one would feel winning the super bowl. (however im sure having 80,000 screaming fans around would add a bit more to it.) Ok, one big time consuming mothafukka out of the way, cmon Darkfall!!

Yeah,im the only guy in the crew pictures you will run across that looks under 60 years old. I do most of the tech stuff on the bike (engine data acquisition, cockpit videos, ect.) since the oldtimers don't know much about campyouters and what not.
