To me it seems weird something where you're completely enclosed is called a bike. Even so that's faster than last nights curry.. In article <48dec1b7$0$15998$5a62ac22@per-qv1-newsreader-01.iinet.net.au>, > http://tinyurl.com/43uyfk "The team used a Suzuki Motor Corp. Hyabusa model as the base for its record-setting motorcycle." If I remember correctly, the Ack Attack has pair of highly modified Hayabusa engines sharing one huge turbocharger between them, and rolls on car tyres (special land speed record attempt tyres, but flat across the treads, not curved like a "motorcycle" tyre) There's not much Hayabusa left there: http://www.khulsey.com/motorcycles/zs_suzuki-ack-attack.html big (it's _seriously fast_ tho!)

Yea, just imagine G-S doing 360MPH in his outfit, and... there you have it! GB, the mind boggles! SignatureMy friend Steve is an atheist. He has a bumper sticker that reads "Honk if you love Jesus".

Somehow I suspect the top speed is more like 180 kph :-) [1] There are some scary outfit motorbike top speed runs in the record books though! G-S [1] I haven't even been that fast in it but the gearing would suggest that if it pulled close to redline in top it would get there. It might have too much wind resistence though... not exactly aerodynamic. > It might > have too much wind resistence though... not exactly aerodynamic. what about the bike? mh >In article ><48dec1b7$0$15998$5a62ac22@per-qv1-newsreader-01.iinet.net.au>, [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >big (it's _seriously fast_ tho!)
