A good buddy of mine has his home built motorcycle out there. He's going for a record, of course. He hand built the frame and is using an Indian (from India) 350cc diesel engine with a cabbaged on turbocharger. He texted me and announced that he has passed tech inspection which is no easy feat. My fingers are crossed that he comes home with a record (the good kind) and doesn't kill himself in the process  .

Supposed to be the show of shows. Always been a dream to go.
The last youngin turns 18 next year so noone can tell him what to do.
Thats when the fun will start for the lovely and myself. All the toys are in place and plans are being bounced around. Fortunatly she's a motorhead too.
This should be a breeze, probly could grease the skids with some shoes.

Well, my buddy texted me and tells me that he has secured his world record on his home brew creation. I guess this makes him the "World's Fastest India(n)". He won't tell us his speed yet so I'm anxiously waiting to hear his story. No matter, it's gotta' be one of the best feelings in the world to accomplish a  dream like this.
