150mph in a 1/4 of a Mile

This is easily one of my favorite moments in 2012. :)


My friend Rob held a dyno day in his shop this weekend, and though I went and trucked my bike with only the intent of displaying it, it didn't take long until we wheeled it on the dyno to do three runs of a 1/4 mile drag simulation. It was my first time doing it, though the video is my second run of three after my phone fell on its back when I tried to record the first time out.

I didn't post the fastest time in a 1/4 mile, or even had the best reaction time from a dead stop, but by that time in the video, I had posted the highest top speed of 146mph in a 1/4 mile, so I was hoping to crack 150mph. I told Rob this, and after sharing a laugh, he looks me in the eye and tells me that I "might not be able to manage it" with my bike.

First run was 148.430mph.
Second run was 149.990mph.
The third and final run was 150.585mph.

Hell yeah.
