1/4 mile time and MPH Canadian........ guess......

Strek · 07-28-2008, 9:56 PM

SilverBrd... I took a hard look at the picture as you suggested. Great pic but it really didn't help me much in determining an ET. Looks like you have slipons. I'll take a guess. 11.3. I'm figuring the weather wasn't ideal down there in the heat.

TigreST · 07-28-2008, 10:22 PM

Looking at the picture I think I see the following:

1) Rider two is already on the pegs and heading down track.

2) Your left foot is still on the track.

3) It somewhat appears that the front wheel is cocked to the left a bit.

4) Perhaps your recovering from a launch issue and have chopped the throttle. Best guess would be that the bike went skyward on the launch and you got crossed up a bit. Looks like your in the midst of recovery and getting back into it or thinking about getting into it again.

The 1/4 mile time I remember for a stock XX is somewhere in the 10's in street trim. If I'm anywhere near to correct with my four points above I'd take a wild shot and say you still pulled off a high 11 second pass,..maybe just touching the front end of the 12's and went through the traps at about 125mph or so. The clock starts only after you break the beam at the line..so even if you get holeshot and sit there you'll still get a accurate E.T. and mph for your pass.

edit: On second thoughts...How fast can you go with a flat front tire?

outlawgibbs · 07-28-2008, 10:39 PM

I say that as fo rthe pic your not even to the line yet, Not even close since I cant see the beam in the pic at all and the fact that your raceing what looks like a 2000 R1 Witch shouldnt be able to keep up with you. Id say your time should be around 10.5@140mph

ArmyStrong · 07-28-2008, 10:57 PM

What I can discern from this picture:
looks like:
1- the sun is about to set; maybe 7:30 or so
2- you gave the guy on the yamaha a head start
3- there are no spectators
4- wind seems to be calm
5- your upper torso seems to be twisted to the right just a bit

...and you don't seem ready to launch at all. I dunno, 12 maybe.

ArmyStrong · 07-28-2008, 10:59 PM

oh yeah, and the track looks like it might be a little moist.

jsfrv6 · 07-28-2008, 11:05 PM

I'm guessing 11 flat.....

Hay OutlawGibbs... Love the Avitar!

I'm guessing Anti-MoneyButt Powder... My wife and I watch a commercial for the stuff, when it was over, we looked at each other and said WTF was that. Was that a joke? Anyway it was funny as hell.... I can't wait to go to the drug store and ask for some

SilverBrd · 07-28-2008, 11:07 PM

Good eyes Tony. Hint.........this was not a very good run

Partsguy · 07-28-2008, 11:13 PM

I say you spun the wheel at the line,drifted sideways,depends mostly on your track experience.First time?I'd say you end up 11.6 at 128.More experienced-11.1 @130
Naw,you're sideways big time-11.8 @128

explain this logic?? i can consistently run 10.6-10.7's @ 127 with a bone stock 600 im sure those times will beat many fellow bird riders. but to the topic at hand due to the launch issues it appears you had id say your 60' was somewhere in the neighborhood of a spinning 2.3. that combined with the thin air you guys have down there. im gonna say you went roughly 11.68 @ 134. u tried to run it out the back door but jus couldnt make up for that launch.

I wana see you run a 10.6 with a 600 When Im running that with my bird. Union Grove WI, on the 10th Ill be there bring your 600

I don't know....and hour and twenty three minutes.....

Strek · 07-29-2008, 12:24 AM

When I looked at the picture initially I couldn't believe that was actually the launch. SilverBrd you really hooked that one up. I thought that you in were the burn-out area. Couldn't see the tree. So what did you turn?

no prob..i may be at the state fair that weekend but if not i have no problem coming out. im guessing that if your running a 10.6 your 60' is somewhere round 1.9-2.0, which is good but there is still room to cut that down. when my bird was stock height with a slip on and power commander i ran a 10.02 @ 141 with a 1.71 60'. and i also am willing to bet that at 160# i weigh less then you as well. rickey gadson can take 600's into the 10.4's with absolutley no mods. hes an incredible rider, im an above average rider so who are you to say that i can't take a 6 into 10.6-10.7's. just because someone else can do something that you can't doesn't mean you have to attack them. it also doesnt mean that you cant learn something from them, if youd like id be more then happy to give you some pointers on knocking a few tenths off your times.
but to what my actually point of even bringing up my times were. someone had said that there is no reason a 2000 r1 should be able to keep up with him. hp on the bike is roughly the same the r1 has roughly 12 or so less ft/lbs of torque, but it also weighs prolly 90 pounds less. the only advantages that the blackbird has is a slightly longer wheelbase and the power curve is a little tamer. the fastest time i personally read on a 00 r1 was a 10.3 so not as fast as the my bird times but to say there is no reason it couldnt keep up with a bird is ridiculous. most times on bikes it comes down to rider verse rider, especially when comparing anything 1000cc or above and sometimes outlaw even when comparing 600's to big bore bikes. and that was the point that was intended to be made!

DragonXX · 07-29-2008, 12:31 AM

From legs and bike positioning ?
High 12's or low 13's

First things first I never attacked you..... I remember saying that I want to see you take a 600 into the mid 10s....And I will be at the Grove on the 10th with my bird for the second time one the track. My first times I ran a best time of 10.83@129mph with a 1.8 60ft time. My bike has slip-ons and I lowered the ass and inch. And for weight, I weigh in at 155lbs so yes I am smaller then you. And the reason that I say The bird will beat a 2000 R1 Is because I owned one last sommer. Ill show you the pics if you really want to see it. And My 03 blackbird is faster than my 00 R1.

wow im not the only smaller guy on a bird. and yes a blackbird is flat out faster then an r1 of that year, but to say that it shouldnt keep up with it on a dragstrip is silly. its all about the rider. Your times are seem to off for your 60' times and the mph seems way low. id guess that something is slowing you down in your tune department. but a easiest way to pick up a few mph is foregore using the clutch for your up shifts after 2nd gear.

Thanks for the input, I figured that out already though and cant wait to try it out to see how much change there will be and im still waiting to get the money together to put my pcIII on and get it tuned since im thinking that im running alittle lean and Im practiceing leaveing the line at a higher rpm since I was leaveing at almost idle the last time Now Im getting good at about 4K with smoking the tire alittle. And I still would love to see you come up on the 10th for the open race. I already have a few other bird riders that are suposed to meet up with me before the track, one of them coming from your neck of the woods.
