I would hate to be him, relocation necessary after that.

I've seen that in another video we have here.

Wonder what that guy did to make the bike so out of control? Drag strips are supposed to be sticky.

That video is so funny.

Kurt - He was probably on cold tires.

Those tires must have been damn cold and his engine damn powerful to do that, though, cause I don't think I could do that on my little SV if I tried.

Maybe when he adjusted his chain, he used the hash marks 'cause he hadn't heard here that they aren't accurate.

I think I heard he staged in the very center... Where the cars drop oil... Should have staged in the tire tracks, where it's sticky...

it looks like thats what happened, then it looks like the tire kinda hooked when it got to the rubber on the track.

yeah...it looks like it took him forever to get off the gas...

:eek:

Then he hit the Evel Keneval ramp....and it was all over!

I laughed my ass off:sad:

When I first saw this a while back I watched it over and over. That launch of the concrete is Hi-larious.

WAAAAY too much gas, that's my vote. it kinda sounds like a turbo is spooling up though...

If so, I know that once you have pressure in your system the clutch doesn't matter... the bike will just go nuts when you open the throttle.
