Ran the drag frame with the XB9 Buell engine ... 134mph under extremely difficult conditions. Temperature was 41* rain off and on all day.

Bravo, I Love Drag Bikes and I'm a Fan of Eric Buell, especially the early Tuber Bikes.. Good Luck!

Congrats on getting a run in in that weather. Heard there was a lot of rain delays. Also heard the course was excellent.

Man.... That is one cool scoot.

55chevr · 05-04-2012, 07:12 PM

Course is excellent. Conditions were horrible. I need to freshen up the top end of the engine.

I wanted to ask. I love the front fender. I read there was a cross wind. Did you run in the crosswind? And if you did how did the front fender behave? Any adverse reaction?

sidehacker · 05-05-2012, 09:18 AM

UR my hero!!!

Rivet · 05-05-2012, 09:47 AM

Thumbs down to that Saturday morning cross wind!!! Bike sounded great Joe!

55chevr · 05-05-2012, 06:53 PM

There was a diagonal following wind that was strong and variable on Saturday. Tough conditions for sure. I put my nephew Joe on the bike as we had a fuel pump problem with this turbo XB7 Buell ...

55chevr · 05-05-2012, 06:58 PM

It was as cold as it looks. I am not as fat as I look in the photo. I was wearing a goose down vest.
