bike kill = one mad dude.

Tx is correct. Someone mentioned trap times etc, and I simply made the comment at high speeds, these trap times and 1/4 mile times mean very little. High higher speeds, their trap speeds don't reflect their capabilities in the least. Therefore, the argument is not which is more aerodynamic than the other, but which one has the best power to aerodynamic ratio for the speed traveled.
So you have a 12 second truck, vs an 11 second motorcycle, but if the rider has big feet, it can slow him down by a few mph, that's how much it effects a motorcycle. Yes, that is a little silly, but it drives my point home. Not to mention, put me on a bike, and chances are it's slower than most typical riders (200lbs), where as in the truck, we probably won't see a difference.

this thread went to **** so i didnt read all the way through, but badass kill for a big hoe to be walkin a bike on the interstate! a turbo anything is gonna pull hard at those speeds so im sure it happened (plus you have posted for a while and seemed like an honest guy)
either way cool kill man its nice to put someone in their place! oh and as said before get a gun just in case!

Oh, not trying to argue it. You have me very interested about it. Be curious to see an article or more research on it. Everything I have read and was taught about street bikes is they are all about aerodynamics and the least resistance. Always up for learning new things..
Too many rough edges, holes, bumps, the rider, very little about a bike screams slippery. If it's makes you feel better, I ride a Harley...the aerodynamics of a house. lol

I love how everybody keeps getting hung up on my 12.33 run. Horrible 60ft and boost was lower than normal due to new cam. I'll run what every it is you wanna run. Not cocky, I just don't care. I just like the rush of the race. If I loose I loose if I win I win it's all good. It's just fun to me. I mean hell it's a 6020lb tahoe with kid seats in the back. I can't win them all. .

Didn't want to let this get too crazy, but I couldn't reply earlier.

For the record, I looked up some pic of the bike I raced. It was a model from the 90's from what I could tell. Still fast but I'm sure not tip top shape.
