Just got home from Bonneville! After reading some of the posts on here I got to thinking about speeding up my old Honda CT90, and I started fooling around with my gear ratios. I had a really small sprocket custom made for the rear and I mean the thing came alive! I did have to roll it down the long hill in front of my house because it had to get going about 30mph before I could drop it in first but man what a ride!! Could not say for sure how fast it would go, the speedo only goes to 60mph and it would bury it in second gear, only gussing it was going about 130 in high. Well, more is better right? I ended up removing the two-speed trans. and going with a drive set-up that is outboard of the swingarm to get enough clearance for the 22in. front drive sprocket. Yeah, it's a little scary but it really flies!! So I headed out west. The result was a backed up pass at 388.6 mph!!! You should have seen the look on the face of this guy who brought his turbo Hayabusa streamliner when he realized all he had to do was change his gearing! ROTFL! I did have to use a push car up to about 120, then hang on. I know this is a little hard to believe but I did go with a fresh set of points and removed the baffle from the stock muffler, really brought the engine to life! Don't try this at home, but yeah it works! Next year I'm going up to the big-bore 110cc engine, maybe I can hit 400mph!

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
