[QUOTE="JoeNashville, post: 1128351, member: 14602"] OK, this is reality from where I'm sitting. 1. A piston does not come up and hit the guy in the chest. It's the gas tank. 2. The piece that you saw on the track that flew off the bike is the rear view mirror, which is usually fairing mounted on a dragbike, or part of the airbox. 3. Many dragbikes use N2O, or nitrous. Some do it the right way and plumb it through the manifolds, others feed a straight shot into the airbox. 4. He/She is holding it on the two-step, which is a rev limiter that is engaged when holding the clutch in with the throttle WFO. The gas is streaming in but only half is being burned, due to the two-step. Keep in mind that the ignition is a dry fire type meaning that it fires on every piston stroke but only one cylinder is on the compression stroke. 5. Dragbikes frequently launch on the juice, meaning that when he drops the clutch the two step drops out, and nitrous is on. Guess what happens when you have a lot of fuel after being on the two step, a nitrous kit that's improperly installed, and you drop the clutch. Check the video again and see. Also, I've never heard of a "flak jacket", especially for motorcycle use. Most of the guys only wear the minimal amount required...the mentality being if they go down at the big end there won't be enough to carry home in their helmet anyway. [/QUOTE]
