    Stopping Distance NEEDED from 1/2 mile?

    I just read that entire thread about braking from 150. Very entertaining and interesting. The supplied chart link has a required stopping distance of 1/4 mile from 165 mph. I realize this is a general chart and not specific to a type of bike or braking capabilities of bike or rider or...

    Stopping Distance NEEDED from 1/2 mile?

    Yup, that's my worry alright! Just substitute swamp for cattle path and that pretty much sums it up.:whistle:

    Stopping Distance NEEDED from 1/2 mile?

    Thanks Outlaw. You have introduced a bunch more variables that I hadn't even thought about yet. Yes, my brain is going to explode. LOL. With the 1/2 mile I am more concerned about my launch, plus I need to win the 1/4 mile portion of the event, so I think I am more likely to keep pressures...

    Stopping Distance NEEDED from 1/2 mile?

    Yeah, there is a circular area at the end that the planes use to turn around so if you are set up for your run on the right side you can turn to your left with some speed if needed.

    Stopping Distance NEEDED from 1/2 mile?

    They do seem to be pretty good at cleaning up the runway so I am not too worried about debris. Generally you are accelerating right through the finish line so you really don't have a 1/4 mile for braking. As soon as I see that I have crossed the line I sit up to serve as a sail and get on the...

    Stopping Distance NEEDED from 1/2 mile?

    This will be my 3rd year in a row doing a charity speed event called Race The Runway in Smiths Falls, Ontario, Canada. It's to raise money for an airport and it takes place on a runway, hence the name RTR. Its a standing start 1/2 mile run with measurements of time at the 1/4 and speed at the...

    Tire buying.

    I am going to be shopping for a new rear in the next couple of months as well and I was looking at the Q3's. I still have lots left in my Avon Storm up front...anybody have any experience mixing and matching this pair?

    New battery, BIG weight savings!

    I am in the market for an LI for my 2005. I have looked at the Shorai and also the Anti-Gravity. They sound good for weight reduction and cold cranking and I don't mind spending the extra cash as long as I get the secure feeling of the bike always turning over when I need it to go. This is a...

    Downsides of a Stage 1 street turbo?

    I have thought about building it myself but I am not sure I want to do the install and then ride it 6 hours to have Richard tune it. With the speeds we are talking about and the risks of extremely high speed problems I would probably be more confident in a bike that was built from the beginning...

    Downsides of a Stage 1 street turbo?

    If I do end up getting it done I am going to take it straight to the source and have it done by Richard at RCC here in Ontario. He is about 6 hours from where I live.

    Downsides of a Stage 1 street turbo?

    I have been waffling on pulling the trigger on this project for a few years now...my rational self debating my adrenaline junkie self (its a standoff so far) and when stalling its always good to add more information to make the decision either easier or more convoluted. If I were to do an RCC...

    Phil Robertson gets suspended from Duck Dynasty for speaking his mind about Gays

    As some have already said, I don't see this as a free speech issue at all. It's an employee/employer issue. It's all about ratings and the almighty dollar. They have a good thing going with DD and they don't want anybody messing it up by shooting off about issues that may or may not lose them...
