    Rocket 3 vs the salt flats why it shouldn't have worked

    It is great to hear your still upright and I look forward to a ride with Northwest crew again! The divots were sure rough with traction and probably helped get the bike wobbling, also my right hand. Initially I thought the divots might collapsed the rear wheel but now I'm thinking the bike...

    Rocket 3 vs the salt flats why it shouldn't have worked

    Thanks for sticking with me on all the trips to the salt and especially after the crash. Jeff was a brave fella offering up his bike after I smashed up the other Rocket 3.

    Rocket 3 vs the salt flats why it shouldn't have worked

    Judging from video from the drone the bike pencil flipped several times. Hard enough tp break the welds holding the gas tank and pulverized the rest of the bike. Did Rob ever have the hardness checked Bill?

    Rocket 3 vs the salt flats why it shouldn't have worked

    Of course you can go. You have run your Rocket 3 at top speed many many times already and know how fast it is, why would you want to take anymore risks? I'm not sure what you mean can you bring your Rocket 3 too? Is your intention to pair them up together in a run? If so I'd say that wouldn't...

    Rocket 3 vs the salt flats why it shouldn't have worked

    Most everyone watching here is probably a Rocket 3 fan. After running down the salt flats a few times I'm a fan too. However, looking at it realistically in this video I'm a little surprised how well it did because there were some high hurdles this bike had to clear.

    Top speed issue

    One of these days we need to try it again in Mexico with a GPS on a two mile run, just to know what the difference on pavement is per a GPS.

    How much speed to you figure we lost on the 155 mph run due to wheel slip?

    Salt Flats In California. Am I missing something?

    Dang I guess that is why it's taken so long to get a record. I think I'll have to do my own tee shirt now.

    Drag Bike Build

    I can't really say. If I was to do it over I'd make sure the bike didn't weave on dry pavement. My first time at speed (164 mph) was on very wet salt which wasn't helpful. The generation one Rockets from what I've seen will weave a bit (140+ mph) with stock suspension, wheels and tires at...

    Drag Bike Build

    Kevin I'll enclose a picture of the 17 inch wheel we ran on Rob's bike..I'm not saying that wheel/tire/ suspension (frt & rear) was the main cause of the crash but I'll never run one again.

    1/8mi drag race Touring vs the GT

    Kevin I would recommend Brocks Performance for suspension setup. In general: Your sag is about right you could go to 9/16 inch tops. It should take about 3.5 seconds for the rear to come back up (rebound) when when fully compressed. You want a smooth rear end squat and return. You'll get...
