Yet explain this to me Joe. You spanked me on the light last time you
were out. I have not heard but a couple of people voice any bad
things on delay boxes. I have talked to alot of street riders and
they have no clue what a delay box is. The street guys want to come
out, make 50 passes in 2 hours and go home. If we go no electronics,
where do you stop. No boxes, no 2 steps, no air shifters, no
autoshifters!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not hounding on you, if it will get the
bike count up, I will not use the delay box.
See you later
