    IF that Supertrapp comes off, put it up for sale here... you may see a biding war!

    Ha, what a troll you are Polock. I'm pretty sure he won't run it with the open exhaust and if he does we'll all get in line to slap him with a large trout. Don't sell your Supertrapp, whatever you do.

    Un Uh.....I already called dibs :) lol


    What we know: There was an exhaust restriction, and the cams look like they are out of time, but obvously not out of time enough to keep it from running. There is still work to be done in order to ensure that the bike stays running with the restrictor plates back in.

    Dibs are yours, I'll admit. But I got a big stack of government cash burning a hole in my bank account!

    You guys are too funny about the bidding war on the SuperTrapp... Just to clear things up I'm planning on keeping it on the bike now that I understand it. I agree that there is still tuning work to be done on the bike but I am super excited that it's at least running now.

    Hey guys - I just wanted to follow up and tell y'all that I just took this bike on a 2400 mile trip from my home in Southern California up through Las Vegas where the temps were 110 degrees, on up Idaho to visit family for a few days then up to Yellowstone Park at an elevation of over 8500 feet, on to Jackson Hole, Wyoming then back to Utah to the Bonneville Salt Flats where I took the bike up to about 100 MPH on the slat flats, ran into a hail storm and flash flood in Nevada, then back to California - 5 days of riding time. The bike worked great!!!
    I am very happy that you all helped me get it back on the road. I feel redeemed from the u-haul trip I started in New Mexico back in May.
    I think it was Rooster53 who first suggested I might have a restricted exhaust. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

    Awesome trip. Wash the bike a dozen times or so. That salt gets everywhere.
