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

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

Yes it does. I am getting rid of dial up next year.

I was finally able to give dialup the boot ~6 weeks or so ago.

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

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?

What's propelling the thing? To hell with that...what's stopping it?!

Red01 · « **Reply #11 on:** December 16, 2005, 08:38:10 PM »

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