    On a street tire.... :clap:

    One of our local Drag Racers, Doug Gall mounted a GoPro in a really unique spot, then went 6.99 @ 211 on his turbo Hyabusa "street bike"..... :wow:

    Check out the front wheel, and how seldom it touches the ground, and the chain tension before and during the run - I think the power is twisting the swingarm... :eek:

    I know some on here might think it's a foo foo drag pass, but I bet all here would have a BIG smile after going 0 - 211MPH in less than 7 seconds.... :cool:

    The chain is scary looking. Makes me think of a whip if it were to break.

    Steeltoe What's my move?

    When you think about all the stuff that can break on a motorbike it's madness to ever ride one lol.
    I have seen a chain snap on a drag bike during a pass. It wrapped itself up in the wheel. Rider met the wall and subsequently left in the flashy box. Shit breaks sometimes.

    I am sure it's just the unique GoPro mount but that sprocket reminds me of wood shop. :D
