My windshield is smoked and 14”. I don’t look through it but rather over it. The main focus of the windshield is to keep the wind off my chest and alleviate helmet buffetting. It lessens the wind noise so I can hear my stereo and gps instructions.
It is nothing like riding in a car...... There’s still wind in my face and my knees are in the breeze.
Be real good if the dudes taking the footage would zoom in on the time and mph tower , straight after the run , never hardly see the run times on any amateur phone recordings ... what is the point of filming the race ??

Idk? Came across this and they said it was a grudge race between the 2 fastest Baggers in the country. Supposedly they are 9 second Baggers
Yeah it sucks you can’t see the run times but I don’t need a clock to tell me them boys were Hauling @ss !!!!
They look like they got to the other end with a nice terminal speed for sure , just always like to know what the numbers were .

At 0:47 in the video you can see the right lane clocks. 7.69 at 137
I see it now ...... @ 137mph
, so next question is... would that be a 1/4 mile track ? Anyway , I'd like one of those tourers !!

Yeah, that's a 1/4.I see it now ...... @ 137mph
Man!!!! They were moving!!!!!

That speed doesn’t match the e.t. does it? An under 8 second run at just 137 mph?
For example,
On November 10, 1957 at Brooksville, Florida,
Don Garlits recorded the first 8, an 8.79 at 176.40 mph.

He might of backed out the throttle the last few feet . My mate sometimes has to do this to stop his bike from breaking out of nominated time .
Same here in bracket racing, pick your dial in and don’t go below it, some even hit their brakes at the end...sand baggers!

Just for you, didn't look at the link. Had my fill of 6 cylinder bikes personally.....

If you want a new '81...here's your chance.

Well if you got to 137 super quick and spent most of the run there you could have a low et right?
Yeah, running an 8 second bike in a 9-10 second round the rider can shut off early to stay in his bracket and still be ahead of the other rider but that’s sand bagging as we used to call it. The rider wins but what does he really win against a slower dialed in bike?
That crated 81 CBX would be fun to assemble (and) change all the rubber and gasket pieces but once put together it would be a fine bike. Probably going to get a sky high price for it. My 82 was exactly the same except for the color. Sold it with 106,000 miles on it. Great touring mount. This one is probably a ‘school’ bike that Honda donated without a title as it was never intended to be sold, just worked on by high school shop classes.
