Title: Launch ! Wahooo!
Post by: mike on December 15, 2005, 05:53:18 PM

Watch this bike launch-wow, now that's some G's !!!

It's near the end of the video, so download it first then fast forward to the end.  He turns a 5.98 at 183mph.  But it looks like a helluva launch down the first half of the 1/4.

It just looks like a really fast take off,
I wonder what kind of G's he's pulling down the first 1/8 mile on full thrust  (http://www.scootplace.net/smiles/original/30.gif)

I would just like to know as to what is propelling that thing.  183 mph is pretty damn fast.

I was finally able to give dialup the boot ~6 weeks or so ago.  :bigok:  :beers:  :banana:  :winner:  :bouncy:

Now I've even given the local phone company the boot, too! w00t!
 :thanks: cable company!

It seems he needs to turn his A/F mixture screws out a bit he has a bit of an off idle stumble. I wonder if he's drilled his EPA plugs yet?

Given the sound it makes and the name of the video, I think the powerplant should be obvious...  :duh:
