I was banned for a short period due to having 2 account, even though I've had 2 accounts as long as I have been active here lol... but they resolved that for me.

Since they took away the other account, Tapatalk wont work with this login, so there's that.

May get around to updating it without pics.. made some big changes I haven't been able to share lately..

Looking forward to hearing and seeing your changes.

Hey fellas! Been off the forum for quite sometime now! Hopped on here to pay my respects to rocketman and realized I have neglected this thread.
I'll find some time to update here in the near future.
Lots of racing planned for 2022!

Almost forgot about this place! Hope eveyone has been well!

Not much just going on with the XL. Did win the 2022 VTRA fastest street harley in Texas championship! Also one the street bagger class on my most recent toy and focus 2020 road glide.
Not sure what the future holds for the XL currently. Ready to do something different and take it into the 8s. Thinking either a turbo or nitrous.. but no immediate plans. Probably just race another season on the same engine configuration I've been running.

Been mostly focusing on my street bagger. It's making 150 hp/ 150 tq.. weights 985lbs with me on it suited. Throws down 1.5x 60 fts and consistently runs 6.8s in the 1/8. I imagine it will run a 10.8 or so in the 1/4. All while putting 12k miles on it in 10 months. Haha.
Anyways, just figured I'd stop in and say hey to the XL fam!
