I felt my body get tense over 170 and then relax when it was calm at 150! What a ride. I can only imagine the hours it takes to pull that off. Hats off to all that make that possible.

Very impressive! How many miles do they run? Do they shut down because of running out of space and / or the bike has given all its got.

What a cool name for a motorcycle.

This ticket was shown right at the end of the video, looks like they are timed over a four mile run. But I think the straight away is much longer than that.

You can see the “Thompson’s Cycles” painted on the side. That’s my buddy who did the paint work.

He also has a LSR on his triumph. I’ve posted some pics here of that bike before.

They both work with alpine racing who do the motors.

Pretty cool stuff.
