Any fast bikes wanting to take on supercars?

Hi A4B,

As one of the founders of the UK Land Speed Racing Association I'd be very interested in bringing a bike along.
It would be a road bike obviously as the race one would be a little unfair! Would a ZZR14 complete with paniers be ok (obviously the paniers can be removed)

I cannot email for 24hrs though as I've just joined.

Having seen Zedhed run bikes at various airfields over the last 10 years I can vouch that he will turn up with the right kit for such an event

and strongly suspect the panniers he talks of will be masking a " hairdryer "

I can bring a 675 Daytona and also an 07 Fireblade if required. Where is this based?

Hi Ian, I've sent you a PM with my details on. If you can text me an email address I will pass your details on. I would like a go at this too

I suspect there will be a Veyron present?

Ive got a 1250cc Harley thats easy to launch if its 0-100 runs you want to compare

forget about it over a ton though, it bounces of the limiter about 130

do we know the location yet and is it open to spectators ?

You guys are BRAVE. My lack of talent notwithstanding, lining up next to billies in high-powered cars for a flat out drag race on a runway: no ta!

Would love to come and watch though. I assume it will be at Brunters.

I hope it's Brunters as this is the longest UK circuit I believe. Took the Ultima there a long time ago so would be nice to revisit

Thanks for all your messages, I will respond this afternoon.. It is a private event so no spectators I am afraid, however we will be running a public day August bank holiday.

Cheers!

Happy to bring the desmo, what day and where?

Oh yes, now we're talking.

Veyron/Desmo video would receive quite a few hits.

Indeed it would, bringing in a fair bit of cash, make sure you get your cut Von.....

Where are Loon, Chibbard and BN with the HP4's?? Surely with the launch control function the only car that has a chance 0-150 would be a Veyron?

Sounds good anyway, be sure to come back and post up the vids once the event is over, hope the bikes kick ass

Seeing as though we're not providing 600's, what cars have you got that are going to present a challenge??

Thats a shame. I have the bike geared for top end too but never max'd it. It hits indicated 183 on the Portimao straight with at least 3k rpm to go, would be one hell of race lol.

Certainly something we can organise in the future, we do have 2-3 Veyrons in the club.

Several other 1000+ bhp cars coming/running, as well as various Supercars.

[HertsBiker]

Howabout an 800? Quite quick and it may be fun to see...

[podman]
