Practice runs

I went to a new housing development where noone is around and did some practice take off runs, I learned you cannot unload the clutch to fast, the bike bogs down alot. So after I feather the clutch a bit, I got up to speed pretty fast, also got used to not using clutch to shift, and always at WOT baby!!!!

The guys I am going with are fellow BIR members and they have run their Thruxtons and Bonnies in the low to mid 13's, hopefully I can beat them!!!! My bike is tuned better (jet wise and dyno tuned), but they have 35mm carbs.
