I own, perform all R&D, build, tune, and ride my own bike. Thanks for asking.


The vintage races at Daytona have been moved to October to allow the March Supercross to have exclusive use of the Speedway in the first half of BikeWeek.

Do you make it up to Road America?

I went up this last year and plan on getting involved in Middleweight soon on a 650. Would love you meet you if you are up there this next year.

the details in this Z1 are too many to just start spewing...what are y'all interested in?

Answer to porting question...giant ports and giant valves (for an old style Z1 head), 40mm inlet and 32mm exhaust. The inlet ports are so big that a few places needed JB Weld to cover the gaps to the atmosphere.

As far as assaulting Daytona, I won there in 2010 :)

nice, that's a good start.....

how much compression are you running? (and whith which gas), how much ignition advance? cams? your approach to building squish (fit close to the dome or bathtub approach) we are all ears :)
