We did it!!
« on: September 10, 2013, 10:58:39 AM »
Finally after 3 years of trying we finally set the record in the 1350 MPG class!  167.4+ mph 2 way record with a one way top speed of 170.658 on her back up pass.

Thanks everyone. Unfortunately I was always at the starting line (We trailer the bike) so I never got to hear how she sounded going through the mile at top speed.  Hoping somebody has video.

Congratulations.   A lot of hard work in prep and tune went into that machine.   A good rider didn't hurt.

It was a lot of blood, sweat and unfortunately a good chunk of change to get that record.  I think it will stand for some time as I know just how hard it was to achieve those speeds.
