my dads 2005 goldwing did 13.9@99 could have done better

Yeah, they actually gave me a bit of ribbing before my first run. Then, not so much. By the forth run, they were all quite impressed that the wing could keep up. They all expected to beat me by a long shot but were surprised to see that I could keep up. I bet if the track was longer I could have done better as I was just hitting the power band at the finish line.

This is awesome, imagine the looks on the other bikers faces when they see a freakin goldwing in the other lane. Thats awesome. At 2:34 you get a great start, and give the other guy a good run. Props for taking that thing out to the track! :)

well not just any 1000cc bike, but a 1000cc sportsbike - yes. for example - a couple months ago i took my '06 GSX-R1000 out to the 1/4 mile for the first time. i only got two runs in that night. first was something like 11.3 seconds, 2nd run was about 10.8sec. my bike is completely stock also. i think that says alot for modern sportsbikes when a regular guy can go out and run 10 seconds on the his only second run ever! that's fast!

Well, not any 1000cc bike is a 10 second bike. Yep, the racing bikes are faster but weigh a lot less and have been set up for speed. But in 8 runs I did get a bit better each time so a few more and I would have kept improving. It was just so darn hot out there! And after the first few, the excitement wore off. I mean really... 100mph is nothing for only a 1/4 mile. I have run 140 for 6 miles once on the open road. And in Nevada ran 120 for over 20 miles and that included some long corners.

massive props for taking the Goldwing out to the strip!!would have kept up with the cars fairly well, but any 1000cc sportsbike straight off the showroom floor is a 10 second bike. but good effort! a bit more time out there and i bet you could work on lowering the reaction time and getting better launches?

Right on Bro!! Who the f*ck died and put these turds in charge of who rides what and what bike is allowed to do what? Motorcycles are about FREEDOM !!!! F*ck 'em if they can't take a joke!!! I'll do what I want with my "84 GL1200 and I won't pass any judgement on what you do with your bike...THAT'S WHAT RIDING IS ALL ABOUT!!!

I was hoping to see a complete run with the bike but gave up after a minute or so..Annoying to watch, for me at least.
