World record attempt [View all]

Next month I will be in Ohio for a world record attempt at the Ohio Mile!

The bike is a highly modified 2003 Victory Vegas. 104" turbo charged engine producing 220HP at the rear wheel.

I am hoping for 170mph. This will be a standing 1 mile acceleration run with the speed clocked at the traps.

Leave your fly unzipped. The breeze at that speed should be curiously satisfying. Glassunion Aug 2014 #4
Think I'll pass on that bit of advice... Flyboy_451 Aug 2014 #5
Presumably with mirrors removed for the run? IDemo Aug 2014 #6
