thats wierd...but kinda cool. as long as your get prinouts of the readings

[LAsunbird86]

Thats awesome! Sucks you got bested by a...well...I actually dont know WHAT that was. But stilll, that IS pretty cool

Looks like it was a Harley. So what was your HP from it or did they do that.

looks fun I.m not sure what the other was but seems to have a lot of torque

[superbike]

Treed all three runs....

It DOES look fun, but....

How were your reaction times? The VROD has a nice 1/4 time for such a heavy machine. Mid 11's if I'm not mistaken. You would either have to have a 750 or jetted/changed gearing to come close on a 600.

Also, I didn't see any fans for airflow? You'll probably need an oil change now if there wasn't any.

That looked like fun Whats up with your headlight why was your headlight cutting out beginning of the two races

[KatanaBrett]

It was strickley a for fun race no print outs but i did get a 1/4 mile time and a mph the last run was the best i ran 10.48 @ 142 mph, And yes got my butt kicked by a road king.
@ muddyman my head light is fine but i killed the bike at the start of the runs.

Wow, obviously skewed....... as a 600 Kat won't get close to 10.48, and that Road King in reality even if it's really worked over it could do no better than maybe mid 12's to mid 13's.

~the following is just mere speculation~
That's because the power to weight ratio's aren't taken into consideration. just motor output , and of course the motor with double the displacement will win.

seeing that the bikes aren't moving at all. and they are being ran at high rpm with out airflow i'd say it's really bad for your motor. but hey it looks like fun.
