The Big Three

[Kansas Bad Man]

Yep.  Red she'll be.  I'm pulling out all the stops this year, I'm thinkin' red streamliners go faster.   

I've just finished up the new body.  Much more aerodynamic than before.  The new tail looks pretty slippery, and the frontal area only is 3.7 sq. ft., I think about the same size as Sam's--maybe a little smaller.  The canopy gives it a dolphin look,  I'm thinkin' fishy shapes go faster. 

I got 26 votes on that "Who will set the record for the World's Fastest Motorcycle?" poll,  thanks for the vote of confidence from all three of you (whoever you are).  The other 23 votes were myself, my wife, my pit crew, friends and family.         

I hope the Nugget has a good supply of salt and pepper for September.  It makes crow taste better.

There's an old saying, "Gas is for washing parts, alcohol is for drinking, and nitro is for going fast"  I'll be picking up the nitro tomorrow.

                      Mad Max,

who's menu is the crow being featured..............

[Kansas Bad Man]

All the naysayers me lad.  All the naysayers.

I love the smell of nitro and coffee in the morning....

I think I will wander west and check out the red devil...

[joea]

"naysayers"........thats what puts ya in the fuel
class..........its much more potent than nitro............


here is is another free can of it...........the other three have
gone over 330 mph many times.........in the last 7 or so years
the "other liner" has cracked just over 200 once............

[Kansas Bad Man]

Hmmm...As I understand it the World FIM Record holder has only exceeded 300 mph on two occasions and on those two occasions set the record. 

[joea]

they have been within nearly 90% of the record
for over 7 yrs and on multiple continents..............

rooting for the underdog is much different than
betting on them..........

I will be rooting for you guys big time.......!

[Kansas Bad Man]

  Darn Joe.  That's too bad about the betting thing.  Just think of the odds you could get. 



 I keep remembering some guy called Edison...
                     

[JackD]

One must not forget that it took one of them 36 years and a number of "sure things" to get to that point after the expenditure of what is said to be millions of dollars.
The others are a quite different story with respect to their efforts, performance, and budget.
The whole story paints a better picture than flash cards.

Max,  I hope to see your rider get a blue hat. You have the HP and aero to get it done, just need everything else to fall into place. Sometimes the naysayers end up eating crow.  Best of luck.

[joea]

Rick, like you, we ALL are hoping to see the "Max"
liner get a blue hat and set the record...........

try not to confuse naysayer with well wisher...........

the topic is who of the contenders will break the record ......

anyone want to put their money where their mouth is...??

[Stainless1]

Yea, I bet Joe Amo has the fastest 1000 at Bonneville this year.... 

And I hope Max's Red Devil goes 3 something... 

[joea]

Bonn has taught me not to take that bet ........

ill be rooting for Max and myself........
I wouldnt bet on either or anyother..........
