Half 93 octane, and half 110 Sunoco... We went back to stock pistons so
we don't have to run it but most folks at least have compression pistons
if not more so they do or they will blow up.


Find a less expensive hobby. Better yet, buy that kid of yours a riding
mower and let her earn some of the bucks she'll need to get through
college. I'm pretty sure motorbike racing is not a recognized collegiate
sport with the accompanying athletic scholarships. Hell, man, tuition,
room and board at UConn is at least $20,000 a year for an in-state
student by now. That's $80,000-$100,000 for a degree from a good state
university. She's not going to get that sort of money rising around on a
motorbike.
