On the way there I usually have at least two groups of women that pull up to the red light and scream that they want to do me.
Hey ThrottleJockey I thought I was the only one this happens to. lol :cheers:

A pickup truck with two 350 pound women with hairy moles and wearing daisy dukes screaming at you doesn't constitute bragging rights. :roll:

Well, while racing the throtle cable literaly fell off the handle bar. I tore the controls apart and discovered that the brass clamp was bent. I used a pair of plyers to reshape the fitting and reinstalled the throtel cable. On the very next run, the same thing happened. Then I noticed that there was oil sprayed all over my exhaust and battery cover. The seal on the front cylinder puch rod is leaking. Is this shit made in China? WTF?????

I run my bikes at MIR in Maryland. I ran my Harley there, and I'll eventually run the Dog there too. I don't race my bikes much but I do like to make a pass or two just to see the numbers and have some fun.

sorry to rain on this parade but what is so impressive about a 12 second motorcycle run????in the 70s off the showroom floor muscle cars were runnin 13s,my 93 Z28 actually runs the same as the bike on this time slip and it is a below average street car with a stroker motor in it ...is it kool that most people think nothing of the performance while lookin at all that polished aluminum and fat tire and long front end...it surely is.....but honestly after spending quite some time at the neighborhood dragstrip 12 seconds for a bike is nothing to brag about.....

These are 700 lb bikes with 1960's technology in the motors. They are custom spinoffs of an HD that doesn't even come close to these times.

I'd say 12.1 for a stocker isn't bad. Here is a good comparison...

A non-stock VTX1800 running a 11.3 1/4 mile, I'd say 50 lbs lighter bike and more Horsepower off the showroom floor:

Not Bike at strip....just some family history

Our family's roots in racing....Vintage Race....Bob's old car from the 70's found in Canada transported in town for a race and photo op with original owner.....handing over the key to Bob could have been a big mistake :whoop:

I only see one problem with the picture of the jet car.... I don't see the wagon he is pulling behind it to carry his nuts.

There are several on this forum that have enjoyed track days, just curious to see if all are about the same.:2thumbs:

I enjoy Interstate time, at 100-120 mph for tankfulls of fuel at a time, normally with my favorite ride buddy, heel to toe:cheers:
