Performance Testing

[ArmyJoe]

My camera died and I didn't get to record any of the performance testing. If anyone has photos or video, especially of the last set of tests, please drop me a private message.

Thanks,
Joe

I'll send my video just as soon as I finish the final edits - especially on our test that you 'think' you won------ lol. Good thing I can edit it to put me ahead at the end---

I was also told someone was running a radar and checking our speed?? 87 mph is what I was told- in the 1/8 mile

Drags

I took several shots of the drags with my Cannon Video Camera. They were HORRIBLE (bad focus):gaah: so I won't be showing them here. Can't wait to see some of the other's.

I've posted a few in my album: http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/album.php?albumid=1313

Let me know if you want the full size images. For the record: they were edited for cropping and image size. No positions were changed .

Weren't most of those people detained by the police and their cameras seized as evidence?

 

[cjackg]

Yep, here's the police....

Performance testing

BTW, IF there really had been any performance tests conducted during SpyderFest it is likely that IF a Pocket Radar had been present it MIGHT have registered a top speed of:
(Male) Seth = 87 mph
(Female) Deb = 84 mph
@ the white line that happened to be running from one side of the road to the other.

Seth, I don't know who that crazy lady is in between Jim and Doc but I heard she had fun. I don't think she is a true Huligan though, cause I also heard she probably won't ride like that again. Just keep her own pace. But she did say Thank you for a once in a life time experience.

In that vid you must used video accelerator software: we never ryde above posted speed limit.

Yeah right.... kinda like when I was cruising south on I24 north of Nashville pulling my trailer at 70mph and was passed by a lone huligan that sure looked like Doc!
.....but, how was it that you left Cuba an hr before I did but showed up in my mirror ?

It was the second run, making sure we have everybody accounted for, looking for Wheeler...pps:

oh deb you truly are a huligan, don't let the bad press sway ya. I don't lie to people about their riding and you did great, we were (for the most part) at 85%.

Testing, always testing, Ride you own bike and you did, very well.

Once doc got his shocks turned up and his turbo adjusted down we could go back out for a 95%-105% run, I mean what could happen? Wheelchair anyone?

You were at 100% I hung around the 80.5 to 91.2% levels:roflblack::roflblack:

I guess the **** talking is continuing on, check tape my friend, I was inside you the whole time. We are going to have to shut down a 4 mile section and time trial it... or 2 person single elimination runs next year.

:agree:

just a drop in the bucket and a severe kick in the ass, that should read 150 in the straights and 113 in the corners. Need that new engine they are talking about.


Its the only time I feel alive and it needs to be more.
