The front tire on those bikes is narrow and smooth. Are the bikes using the carbon brakes that are causing some racers issues? 200+ mph with no chute, Maybe they should start spraying the shut down area. shruggy


In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Just saw on Yellowbullet that the NHRA has told Matt they are keeping the bike until after Pomona. Makes me wonder what they found on the bike.....
