That was great just shows that Harleys are still the champion TT bikes out there. You know Tavern to Tavern. |

Choppers derived from lengthening the wheelbase to reduce wheelies in drag races. That Chopper's engine is probably pretty much bone stock but I would wager that it weighs 450. Its top speed probably blows as well as cornering ability. But the ONE thing it's good for is what we saw. One other thing: I have personally seen a few baggers that were completely mental in the engine department. If a man with a comfy bagger challenges you to a race, look at his heads. If you see little blue buttons on the heads, just walk away man.

But the ONE thing it's good for is what we saw. " I have a feeling it probably has more than one good use -transportation from a to b -general enjoyment I liked this video a lot it reminds me of some days at the dragstrip when I first started getting into dragracing. I would ride my S3 to the track and run it at the local 1/8 mile. Some guys would get pissed cause I could launch better than they could on their 600s and would get just enough lead to stay ahead of them on the top end. Sure, their trap speed was about 20mph more than mine, but trap speed don't mean crap in a dragrace. But theyd get pissed cause a Harley motor just outran their race bike in front of their friends and a bunch of random fans. torque rules for 1/8 mile and shorter races, much over that and the power output of modern sportbikes (keep in mind the 99 s3 only had 100hp stock) with having 150+hp will really be running hard on the back end |

It's not about speed, it's about the fun you have. |
