Looks like I have a new product...I will make millions..now I just have to bottle the first five minutes of my vid and market it for a cure for insomnia.

I fell asleep in the first five. Have someone film you while you ride. That would work.

I watched the video. I want to see the bike run, not an instructional video on the Rocket motorcycle! We already know about the Rocket motorcycle and Bob Carpenter's kits! Run the thing on the street so we can see and hear how it runs!

Here's a carpenter Rocket doing 9.03.

Now that's what I want to see! Man that was a long way back to the pits!! It would have been interesting to see a track side view of the run also.

I have raced at Atco its a good track with two exits depending on how fast you go and how long it takes to shut her down. You stop about half way back to pick up your time slip so it does not seem very long with the adrenilin pumping

I think Bobs quiickest time is somethin like 9.01 so far. 8 seconds is not far off for them.

I love both my Rockets not sure I would be riding if Triumph did not make them. I do like the looks of the new Trophy and wish I had the faring to put on one of my Rockets.
Who knows maybe someday they will have a fairing for the beast.
