1.  Wonder who submitted my name.
2.  Strip the street parts & sell 'em
3.  Use the funds to build a superbike out of it.

Start calling to see who has the bodywork, rearsets and exhaust done for it.

Then see if Greg White can send the forks directly to Baker to get done by Laguna.

Weigh Stumpy and order up that rear shock

Get some bubblewrap and get that ebay account fired up to sell some custom race replica panels.

Call Michelin to see how much $ is on the card--tires aren't gonna be pretty.

Show up to Laguna and have Stumpy qualify for Superstock.

It'll rain and Stumpy will astonish the masses as he ends up on the podium with Roger Lee and Tommy.

Ten Kate will ask Stumpy to please, please be a back up rider for them.  He'll consider it only if he can bring his weiner dog.    

Yup, that's what I'll do.

Sell it to Honda guys and buy a Yamaha R6 and all the goodies after selling the stock bodywork off the R6...

But the thought of riding it is interesting...

But how many of them does one see being raced by private teams in Superbike or Superstock?

Great.  There's no way there can be two big winners from Marquette in one year.

A friend of Stumpy's just stopped in his shop to tell him he won a contest by  Road Racer X magazine.

He won an all expense paid trip to Donington to the MotoGP race, party with John Hopkins, pit pass and Hopkins' leather after the race.  I'd wear it on the plane ride home.  

Once he found out, he drove strait to the shop to tell Stump as he knew he'd be the only one to understand it wasn't just a trip to England!

How does one enter that contest?

I don't know, I guess it was in Road Racer X or something.  I like that mag, but don't subscribe so I didn't see it--it's not in the "racer budget".  That line item is taken up by Road Racing World.

I would keep my luck going and purchase the winning multi million $ lotto ticket.  I would then spend said proceeds on the CBR in order to get it to perform at a level close to what any R1, ZX10 or GSXR1000 does out of the box off the showroom.
