But look how long it is...sure it can go straight, but not a whole lot else.

Sure a gixxer1000 can't do over 200 without some help, but at least it'll handle.

Oh man, I've been to MTT before. They're the ones that build those bikes. It's right next to one of our Oilfield Facilities. That place has all kinds of bad *** ****!! Speed boats, turbine bikes, and there's always nice cars and hooked up hummers chillin outside. They have an enclosed trailer (like a little u-haul trailer) that they haul the turbine bike around in. But it's all plexiglass so you can see the bike. It's like the thing the Pope rides in. LOL And the wierd thing is that this place is out in the middle of nowhere. Franklin, LA is a small enough town, but this place is on the outskirts. But yeah, Jay Leno flew out there to pick up his bike when he bought one. He was walkin around and checkin everything out. I heard that he was riding his bike around back home when someone pulled up behind him too close and got their bumper melted from the exhaust!!!! Don't knwo if that's true but it would be hella funny.

at 300mph i would really start to worry about aerodynamics. Something as simple as moving your fingers over the clutch could create some serious lift. Dont even think about trying to sit up at those speeds, you'd prolly get ripped off the bike. Ever see those vids of top fuel drags loosing part of their wing and just spinning outta control? Now imagine that without a rollcage [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
