It is a Lifeline flotation and impact life vest, and a helmet, Ted. And, tho' it's not protective equipment, it's equipment nonetheless ................ a BIG set of "you know whats". That's not always enough for protection, however. Friend of ours from Biloxi blew over, racing his Allison, last April. Lost a leg, nearly lost the other. Still building race engines in his shop, however. Just tested a prototype 3.5 stroker Merc that went 516 hp. at only 18 degrees timing. It's probably gonna be good for 600 in race tune.

Good luck with your new bike. Nothing quite like the feel of that much horsepower between your legs.

Best, SRH

P.S. In the spirit of the thread, it was burning lead free fuel. grin


May God bless America and those who defend her.
