This is my favorite KZ ( Head anyway ) GO BO !!!

My mother and father both rode Indians and Harleys but I'm not a big fan...but...I love to watch those Harley fuelers. The sound and thunder they produce is incredible. You feel these bikes make a run along with watching them. Just listening to those motors makes you think you can hear every time the plug fires...awesome. Hell of a show.

Just don't stand to close, they will pitch cylinder heads. I've seen two, one I was a lot closer to than I wanted to be!

I believe it. The first thing I learned about motors from my father (and probably one of the last) was that the fewer the cylinders, the louder an engine *can* be. I get the appeal of the sound...just don't want to make the compromise myself.

NHRA at Vegas last weekend Harley Exhibition
half track front wheels in the air. 6.20's 220 MPH.
I had to share this.

Marty in Buffalo

Not sure I'd want my belly right above where that piston is pushing...

Yes, the late great Jim McClure had a bad cylinder explosion in the late 90's.
Lifted him straight up in the air.
That started the using of the kevlar blankets around the cylinders.
Jim's injury never healed, which eventually took his life. What a nice man Jim was! God Speed!
Her are a couple more shots. Got to share em.

Last one!
The money shot!

Take a wild ride...

That is crazy! Great video.....

Some riders report that turning the bars right or left acts like an aerodynamic rudder and can help steer the bike, even though the front wheel is in the air.
