Not too shabby for a 1st year bike, I hope it shows well and they stick
around...

Well, the first one that you can actually buy in this country, unlike
the ill-fated VR that was homo'd in Poland..

We'll see..

Those belts are prolly the least of their worries. I'm thinkin' they'd
be pretty happy if one just finishes. That said, a competitive
homegrown bike could really help road racing in this country. I just
hope they don't fall into the "year behind" trap that always plagued
the VR effort and even though Erik has very little in common with
Schiebe there's still that corporate "tractor" mentality at H-D, but
we'll see.. (Heh and fairly soon too!)

Knowing Danny Bilanksy(he's a friend of mine), *HE* wont be "happy"
unless they win :)

I certainly hope so.
