I hate to say this now but the conversation I had was with Kevin Cameron. It was a work related thing but I wound up talking to him for about an hour. Not about just that but about other things too. He's a really nice guy, and smart too. I mean smart in a general sort of way.
I can't really say I am articulating things right and there may be holes in my idea, but I ran it by Mr. Cameron as best I could and I am pretty sure that he verified it.
He also went on to say that for a lot of people more power or different power slows them down. It was a long conversation, I am only somewhat capable of understanding it. When it comes to terms like "spray dispersial" he's piling up the dishes faster than I can dry. I dunno, I read Lyle Cummings and stuff like that for fun. It's not a real education but I like that kind of stuff.
The reason I called him was I am a library director and he'll be coming to do an author reading at my library in the late summer or early fall. It'll be from his newly published
Top Dead Center I wrote him an actual paper letter and he called back yesterday. He just got back from the latest Indian Motorcycle Company rebirth, and we talked about that some too.
I'll leave it at this. I think that real world gains from pipes in classic out of the corner street sport riding are negligible. That's my opinion. I've thought about it some and talked to some very smart people about it. People I can say I really respect and that have engineering backgrounds. I've made my case. I hope to meet you all in person some day.
