We used to go to Castlereagh dragway in the 70's . Back then it was said that 200MPH was the fastest ever possible , what is it now 330MPH or more ? I remember seeing a stock Yamaha TZ blow away a full on drag bike , what's this rice burner was the comment !

But that Chev would make a cool work truck  8)

Look even better on a start line next to a proper Xmas tree  ;D

Cars like that were meant to be raced, not looked at......

I am off to Willowbank tonight for bike night. will be a night of firsts... first time down a 1/4 mile....first time I will have given the bike some stick.... first time in dynamic mode (if I dont have to change my undies in Road mode....happy to leave the dynamic pro mode key at home) and chances are first time I have taken this bike over 200km/hr... well first time over that speed in 20yrs... should be fun. I am going to wear my heart monitor and track it on my sports watch just to see the stats. hopefully will be a lot of fun (cautious fun)

Well that was a bit of a failure.
The default setting for the gear change light is 7000rpm so I changed this to 10,500 and kept the bike in ride mode which basically minimises wheel spin and wheelies.So off I went opened it up..hit 9000rpm and the rev limiter kicked in... this should have been disabled in the first service so changed to 2nd...hit the limiter so 3rd...limiter so backed off. ended up with 12.232 and 169.7km/hr.

was comfortable with the run so switched to dynamic mode for the 2nd run but then the heavens opened up and that was the end of that

 Wasnt happy although loved the experience and will head back another time. Heading off to get the rev limiter removed next
