Today we got to ride our biKes down at our place in The outer banks . We rode around the field first and my tec was not as strong as the others in the short runs , which I figured because they have TAV 's . Doug's raptor seemed to pull the hardest around the field and the Honda was close my tec takes a little longer to get up on the pipe .
After that we went to the hard road to try some top speed runs , this is where the Tecumseh shines . We take off they get the jump but the tec always came around on the big end . Jesse says that my bike was just marginally faster than his , but he never came around my bike and mine pulled his and the raptor ?
All in all it was a fun day of riding with my brothers .

Just want to say that all the bikes came home running and with all parts intacked . The raptor gas tank did come louse but was caught before we had a fire .
Jesse's Powell had the header pipe crack just past the flange and it dropped down a little . He tried to blame the builder ( ME ) but he did not check that box on the option sheet for a brace to be made , he's cheap .
My Powell pretty much run incident free for the day .

Well today we weren't going to ride but Doug and Jesse decided to clean there bikes and do oil changes , and we also had to fix the pe on Jesse's bike .
We got the pipe done first and they started cleaning . While doing so we noticed that the throttle setup on the Honda ( which was the owners doing ) was not opening up all the way I pulled the air filter and could see that the butterfly was only a half to two thirds open . Well we no what this means , all day of out running him yesterday maybe just ended .
And let me tell y'all the shit talking started and I was getting a little worried , cause I had been racing just half of that Honda not all of it .
It took just about most of the day to rebuild the throttle set up . Doug made new brackets for it , I had to pull the flywheel cause Jesse had dropped bolts behind it and they stuck to the magnets inside the wheel . So we got it all together , and we also put a yellow spring on the driven of Doug's TAV and they were both talking shit about showing me something .
Me and Doug made some runs up and down the street and he got beat pretty bad , at the time I didn't know he was sand bagging a little . We got Jesse's bike together and took it out he tried it first and then Doug and I . After sweating all day about the only racing half a Honda yesterday and after riding it , well it was better but not quite what I expected .
So after a bunch of arguing we line up with Doug dropping the flag and I got a little jump but stayed in front the whole length of the street , which is about a little less than half a mile . We were probably running a quarter mile or so . At the end the the Honda was about 10 feet behind me when we let off . We ran back the opposite way and I got there first with the Honda ri

Your Summary is is exactly correct, however you did not point out that the 10 ft differential between the two bikes at the point that we both let off was exactly the same gap all the way down the street, and that you jumped the start. I guess we are now at the point that MARGINIAL is no longer the phrase to use, maybe three words. EXACTLY THE SAME
