He needed to get that bike up to 150 mph and maybe that would have done the trick. That would have been scary for him though. He popped a nice little wheely. Myth busters knows a good bike when they see one. |

My Daughter records all those shows so she watched it with me tonight. in the end they did get it to work, probably the same way the original video was done |

I didn't realize that the 1125's were chain drive. |

I didn't realize that the 1125's were chain drive. The description of the bike at the beginning was not a Buell 1125 but a Erik Buell Racing 1125. Maybe that's the difference in that the bike had been modified by Erik Buell Racing and was not stock. |

>>>I didn't realize that the 1125's were chain drive. They are not. The 1125 DSB is.

Yep, after I posted I went to Buell.com and saw that they were belt drive, like I thought, then I went back to the video and realized there were no headlights. Duh! Then it all made sense. |
