Does this count???

[Tim Bindon]

Had the Buell Lightning at the track for the first time last night. I managed a best of 12.298 @ 108.7, does that count for the 12 second club? Bikes are hard to launch! On my fourth run all I saw was the tank as I almost pulled the damn thing over my head. Scary. I was pretty happy with my time. AND I got to beat a Yamaha R6!

I saw a 2k Black L run a 12.28 w/pullies and a chip. There was also a red 2k1 that ran a 14.3, it was his first time.

Thank you. No 12-sec club membership YET....go get some bolt-ons & we'll talk ;-)

It's not a truck.

Tim, I tried to help, but they just shook their heads and thought i was a dumbass. I know it's a harley for christ sakes!

I hear ya Buell dude, I'm launchin' a GSXR1K in a similar wheelie or spin ordeal. Beatin an R6 makes it all the more worth while though! Easier said than done on a bike, it's a whole different game guys!

Ha ha, you're an idiot for takin that seriously! :lol:

Wow! That got a little heated. I was just tryin to be part of the cool crowd b/c I have a 12 sec. L, but I guess there's no love here!

LL - You're right, the truck needs to get down into the 12's. I'm still riding out my warratee. Soon!

Scott - What is your trap speed in the 1/4 with the Gixxer? My bike pulls hard until about 80 then falls on it's face, i'm guessing yours keeps on pulling! Yes bikes are a completely different animal to launch at the track!

Ok, i'll come back when the truck is in the 12's, then we'll talk...

No problem. I was just trying to sneak in the back door of the 12 sec club! I agree 12 seconds is fast on anything, but it's almost expected out of a bike (even though it's harder to launch and ride). Seeing an L run a low 12 is impressive. I think i'm finally goign to break down and call JDM this winter while the truck is in storage. I'm thinking Stage 1 and a pulley. Should be a fun winter bolt on project.

 

[LIGHTNING LARRY]

Sounds like a great winter project. You'll love it. :thumbsup:
