I always wanted to do this on my Harley.. but the closest I ever got was to get pictures next to our Jets while stationary ;0(

Hog

Cool, but that 104, would eat his lunch. They don't call it "the missle with the man in it" for nuthin'

Yea? and so was the Abu Ghraib Prison pics??

I just wont post the one where your riding around with Friut of the Looms on your helmet?? LMAO!!!

Hog

thats a big trike following that duc

Great Pic!

Looks like World Superbike Champion James Tosland on his Ducati 999 F3.

I wonder if the jet will be competing in the race at Road America this weekend???

Hog,

You should make the trip up to Elkart Lake, Wisconsin this weekend, if you can. World class motorcycle racing only one hour north of Milwaukee.

Correction....that may be an older pic. Looks like 1993's world champion Neal Hodgson on the FILA Ducati 999. Neal will be at Road America this weekend racing the Ducati Austin factory 999.

Awesome pic hog!! God i miss my bike. I actually saw a couple guys ridding Ducati's in down town boston this weekend. The sound from the twins was bouncing off the tall buildings, it was cool as hell.

that is really a cool pic.

That's an adobe job, right?

I don't know about a race......I think the 999 might stand a chance in a quarter mile. Those bikes push just over 10 in the quarter I think. The 104 with those GE engines are really fast, but need about 170 knots to rotate for a 190 knot takeoff. I don't think they can do it in 1/4 mile. Not heavy with fuel anyway.

There's a pretty good chance the bike would win the quarter mile.........then the 104 would scream past him.

I ain't against Harley's or nuthin', but they ain't for goin' fast, I can tell you that. Any rice burner would smoke a harley in a race.

There have been a bunch of races by bikes or high performance cars vs jets. The bikes and cars always win, upto, I think, a 1/4 mile. Jet engines aren't built for fast 0-100 mph speeds.

For you car guys.

Did anyone read the article on the race between the hottest Corvette and the Suzuki GSXR-1000 a few years back? It was a race between the Cycle World editors and the Road And Track (or MotorTrend...I forget)Editors.....they are owned by the same company. It was a race up to 100mph and back to 0mph. The rider of the motorcyle was up to 100mph and back to 0mph before the Corvette got to 100mph. Cars are slow. Just the way it is.

Ducati...you are right, cars are slower than bikes. I do however, have a 10 sec car(98 supra TT 600HP) and that's fast enough for me.

Did anyone see Ricky Gadson in the Cycle World article a few months back? He did a 9 second 1/4 mile.....on a stock 600cc motorcycle! And it costs less than $9000. That's flyin'for cheap.

Thats dirt cheap compared at my 18k+ mod to get it up to a 10 sec car.

Wow! that's cool!

Hey now! you might want to re-think your "Harley's are slow" comapred to jap bikes. 2004 out of the box, NHRA pro-stock championship was won by Andrew Hines ontop of a H-D Screamin' Eagle V-ROD(a record setting run this year of under 7 sec)! Set the record in Gainseville Fl, March 2005 Gatornationals with a record first ever run under 7 seconds for any motorcycle in pro-stock. 6.991 @196.10. They got low ET, track record and National record for speed. That gave them rights to be in the Mickey Thompson 6 second club. Check and see how many names in that record book. Still think Harley's are slow?

As you probably know, Kizuki was top dog until the Milwaukee boys came to play(with the help of Porsche design engineers)!

needless to say, It's like Nascar, you only have two players and the rest have been put to rest. In bikes,you have H-D and Kizuki. Nascar, Ford and Chevy until last year, now Dodge has returned.

This year they are going for it again. Don't let those H-D fellas fool you!

By the way, cool picture anyway!

Hog,

Great picture, reminds me of the old flightline at El Toro.
