Getting chased by a Vincent

Now it's only a 500cc Comet so he really couldn't catch me.  :whip2:

And you couldn't hear the Guzzi over that old British noise maker...  :rolleyes:

Yes, chest mount. The trick is getting it aimed correctly.

It's a lot faster than he gives it credit for. They move along smartly.

 The Mighty Mouse drag bike built and ridden by Brian Chapman was and probably still is capable of high 8 second 1/4 mile times and it is nothing more than a puny single cylinder Vinnie .

I know my bro's Comet can certainly shift. No matter what speed though it still just goes pop pop pop. Still has the original spiral wound muffler.
