The only time I made it to Maxton was for the Muzzy pipe test. It just got hotter faster than he could make the bike go faster.
I guess if you go a mile and 3 tenths it is more of a LSR deal.
I did a number of street bike shootouts that included HI speed at the Honda proving grounds. Guthrie even sat in on one. That was a good test because it featured a street, road race,drag race, and top speed for an over all evaluation. Can you believe the % increase in only 20 years or so ? I bet Guthrie can do the math.
It would make a good thing for a magazine to get together. It finally got to beyond the limits of the HI speed deal at 239mph because the rider only had about 1/4 mile to slow before a sweeper turn.
Put one of those together and you can call the winner
"The World's Fastest Street Bike", then sell it right away.
And the bowling ball deal was quite a sensation. I heard the Rangers are still looking for me. They must have the Record Certificate and associated paper work. I am sure it still stands because 20+ tears later I asked one of the Ranger about what I heard and he shared the whole story.
