Default Impressed by a chopper

I had my car dynoed the other day with a 100 shot and later that evening ran into a sweet chopper. I was drooling when he let me know he wanted some. I thought it was gonna be another case of raping a cruiser but not this time. We left from a light and I didn't spray til second. Up to around 75mph I only had a 2 car lead? I asked what he had in it and he said 113 cuibic inches. That was definately the closest race I've had with a cruiser.


I made 388/489 on the dyno with it being 91F.

At Adirondack Nationals in Lake George, NY last year me and 3 of my friends met a guy who collected cars and also had a chopper... eventually he told us that he ran it once and ran a 13.7. We laughed our asses off at him. I'm sure he was just a poor rider, though.

Ive had many a bike go down.. Just cruisers (sportsters, fat boy, etc)... Cant touch sport bikes though. The closest race ive had really was a Nighttrain? (think that was it) I looked it up and it said it ran 12s... Everytime I ran him from a stop he would shoot out of the hole on me... then I could stop his pull and hold my ground, from a roll on we would stay neck and neck..he would win/I would win.... Definately FUN!

I guy I worked with, his makes 659 at the wheel. Unless you are a big guy, those things are freaking huge. I'd look like a fool on one.

He hasn't driven it in almost a year. He says its too scary to drive. When I first met him I had a sportbike and he mentioned how he raced a couple on the highway and left them behind. I immediately called being nothing can touch a sportbike, not to mention up top. However, I started learning more about the Boss Hoss' and of coarse his mods and I don't think he'll have a problem running anything he comes across.

I would gladly race him on my mostly stock 1000.

Lets go and do some real riding at a real track, non dragstrip.

Lets take them to a road course.

But their are a few busas that put over 600 to the ground. Would walk him like he was standing still.

Still will not be as aerodynamic, light, or gear as well.

My uncle has a copper that he got built to around 150hp at the wheel, that thing is scary at **** to drive he let me ride it and it scared the **** out of me. I only had it 1/2 way open and I was holding hold for dear life. I cann't even see how they can stay on a bike with 600 hp that's crazy. Oh and nice kill!
