They still got a ways to go to top Angelle. That little lady is is flat out FAST! But I'm glad to see them getting back into the NHRA books again.<br> <br>Hey Ed,<br> Was that the new V-Rod Pro Stock bike that I've heard about?

 

The reports called it a &quot;Buell&quot; ???
Yeah I know what a Buell is.........but I thought the race bike was the V-Rod too

I'll try to dig up some info and a pic.

From H-D.com:
Harley Davidson Pro Stock Racing

yup, it's the V-Rod.

 

I think they should show it on ESPN2 tonight 9:00-11:30pm. ;D<br><br> <br>,,,,,,,,,,,, REALLY??,,,,,,,,, :

 

I sat on one.....once <br>That's a &quot;Young Man's&quot; riding position.<br>{eyes the two-wheeled &quot;Barca-Lounger&quot; in the garage}

 

If I ever get off my butt and finish putting my XLCR back together,,,,,,,,,, I doubt my back (now 2 discs shorter) will like any extended rides! :

I ran solid struts on the 79 XLS for dirt drags and decided to leave them on after a day at the drags. Rode around for a week before I figured out &quot;BIG mistake&quot;
The Cafe Racer has a swingarm suspension, but it doesn't help much when you're laying down. :
