They research how to chrome things.
But now that "Black is the new Chrome*tm" they don't have to worry about chrome brake rotors and zipties.

I wonder what their "high speed testing" consisted of??

Perhaps seeing how long that piece of crome with stay on before it vibrates off?? LOL

Could have been used for Buell testing also and now the usefulness of the facility is no longer there.

HD high speed testing = not falling apart at 55 mph

It was the real deal. There were Buell racers that worked there.

Yup, Buell's were tested there...I spoke with one of the Test Riders that was at Homecoming 07. He test rode the 1125r...In some crazy nasty situations too.

He even complimented my riding skill on the Demo's at the go-kart track at Road America. Dude was cool shell, forgot his name though.

Lots of the testing was done in Arizona.

High speed on Tally would be a bear! I rode 3 laps around it at about 70 for a March of Dimes ride a few years ago. It was a rough track to say the least. They have re-surfaced it though.

Do you need a facility to test leather tassels and chrome?
