I finally did it!

Your nucking futs!!!!!

Congrats on the lapse of rational thought. The speed is completely addicting!! Its not easy getting to 200+ on the Busa as many would believe. Going to the Salt Flats is even more difficult because of the tire slippage on the surface. You will have to fill your swingarm with lead shot and that will take FOREVER!

Just have patience, follow those who have done it and you will soon succeed.

(dadofthree @ May 16 2007,15:06) Good luck and be careful. I know you're wearing full gear.

Do you think gear will make a big difference if something happens @ 200 mph

Guy went down at Maxton last year and slid on asphalt from 220ish down to zero in full leathers!!

Had some hospital time to repair various bones, but his hide was almost completely intact.

Gear ALWAYS makes a difference, sometimes it's just not enough.

?".............next time watch the tack, at 11,000

The tach is about as accurate as the speedometer.

I wear body armor at work for the same reason; do you think it'll hurt

Maxton is probably a very good place to do this.

I have a bud on here that carries 193+ time slip with him and he's got 6K+ in the ride.

You can probably do it cheaper, but I don't think stock will get ya there.

I saw an old flick with a dude on a Kawi wipe out at 200+ and ended up with a totaled bike and broke thumb. He was wearing full gear.

I think for the most part, when wearing full gear, that unless you hit an object, you have a pretty good chance of living through the ordeal.

Not that it's a good thing to go down, and nothing is for sure. But for the most part, people I know that have gone down with gear usually walk away in one piece.

I wear a full Alpinestars armored compression suit under my leathers at all times.

I have gone down road racing at 140 & walked away.

The problem w/ most high speed runs they are not done on a track, just a highway somewhere.

The guard rail or light pole doesn't care what you have on.
