New RI Member (Hoon)

[Hoon]

My name is Matt, I'm 22, originally from Tiverton RI but now living in Narragansett because i'm a senior at URI.

I did a lot of off road riding in my younger years (13-18), but sold my last MX bike a few years ago.

I've never owned a street bike, but it's my next endeavor.

My current street toy is a 30R AWD Talon that makes about 430awhp on pump gas, and weighs about 2800lbs. I've never tuned it on race gas but 500whp should be within reach. It's a blast, but i want to get back to 2 wheels. The feeling of a bike is more natural to me than a car ever will be.

I plan to take the car to the drag strip when it opens in April to see what i can get out of it, and sell it soon after to fund the purchase of the next toy.

Shameless plug: Here's a pic of the car. Here's a pic and a low quality launch video with an engine bay pic:

What up Matt?! Another URI student here. Just sold one of my two bikes but I still have a dual sport.

Nice car. Never been a huge fan of Talons but it seems like you've put some serious work into that thing. Oh, and your video sucks.

Haha, i know.

GoPro night quality is awful. I didn't plan on making a real vid, i just stuck my cam on there for shits and giggles, and when i looked at the data-logger and saw 3.3 i said screw it i'll post the vid. It was only intended for DSM guys.

Do you know a kid named Scott Mullin?

He's a couple years older than you but he's from your home town.

I do. He was in the grade above me.

Ok, i know him from URI. That was really off topic, but seeing Pomfret made me think of it.
