Maybe we could do a two-up to start off with Dave, that should eliminate the possibility of it blowing over. I'll ride up front and you can spoon me :lol: Should make for a good youtube clip

Just in case you don't know what he is talking about?

I will bring the stop watch, not that anyone is competative, A Hooks!

The attached should be the benchmark?

And while I am in the mood! For us lucky ones who get to use it before Dave blows it over, we will no doubt want one, next years project is attached. Fat Pigeon note the last few paragraphs re set up!

Heres a preview of the action that can be expected, although I suspect these guys weigh less than our average?!

Thanks Chivs,

I think those speed records are safe unless someone has a Mercury 55 H to strap on the back.
Will have to do with about 30 hp.
