Yeah they are only 38 mph under what the USA guys are doing, but remember we have been "Warned".

And Bud busa is street legal and he rides it to work.

How fast would he go on the 17+ k  ft at the Edwards concrete over the middle mile from both directions ?  8)

Faster than most and slower than some?  It would be interesting to see what a bike like Rich's would run at Bonneville with a two way average and runs over two diff days.

As I have said, that bike Rules Maxton and Texas, however I would like to see it run at Bonne or EM

if you accurately measured the duration of the run time in the mile, it would beat whatever the existing World record is for the standing mile also.
I guess he could turn the power down and run other places too. Maybe even with a 2 hour turnaround instead of a whole day.

Hmmm - just curious, but, isn't that Mr. Yancy's honor at this point?

Add enough adjectives and you can make anything unique.

That's true. My GPS has gone almost 500 mph. I was airborne at the time. I believe Rich has a time slip.

Just for the record

I hold the speed record for a bowling ball. In my younger days I sent one down the face of Hoover Dam and it met the rules that required it to be in contact with the surface. A 2 way run was not required nor a backup run.
While the record still stands from 1966, the ball was never seen again.
We used a HI Speed camera that was used for research and you could count the frames over the distance and measure the speed.
So now you guys want to race huh ?  8)
Tell me again what the old record was from Maxton to Texas. Was it faster that from Bonneville to Wells. Was it a 2 way in 2 hours or did they come back the next day.
Once again, read carefully and type like you mean it.
