You forgot to mention you were riding a Harley and i was riding a rocket, i still remeber your words when we stopped at Monarch Pass and you were trying to keep up with the Harley wide open; "You sumbiches need to remember that i'm missing one cylinder"
Under 2000 rpm, maybe up to 2500 or so, there is definitely less torque than stock. Not that it's weak, but it's easy to stall out if you accidentally start in a higher gear, where stock it wouldn't. It's just the way torque and horsepower work.
BY the WAY GUY MARTIN will be on Velocity TV tonight at 10 pm its about his experience riding the TRIUMPH STREAMLINER so watch the show it will be interesting
WELL a short straight line Drag race is over in seconds and usaually less than a 1/4 mile and much safer than those 20+ mile road races like the DRAGON or many other crash courses filled with DUMBOS like you OLD BULLSHOOTER

First off - the Dragon is 11 miles NOT 20+!
I can hardly believe that you actually think riding twisties is more dangerous than drag racing!
Only a true DUMBO would present that time ("over in seconds") and distance ("less than ¼ mile") are "much safer".
If you can, attempt to consider the acceleration forces generated by the extreme speeds attained in such a short time!
Just because you prefer riding a straight line does NOT make you opinions correct.
If there was EVER a "DUMBO" on this website - look in your mirror!
This applies not only to the first personal comment but also to those who feel compelled to take it upon themselves to moderate other's behavior. Its all unacceptable. If you feel there's been a personal attack either ignore it or report it. Responding in kind only serves to escalate the situation and then the thread ends up being locked.
