Bikes at the drags

[mr_mike]

I know WAW has finished for the season but has anyone run their bikes at the drags?

If so post your time.

I'll be heading down when the season reopens and i am more confortable launching the bike.

[H1GHROLLR]

WAW hasnt finished mate

[mr_mike]

my bad, when does it close for winter? might head down next week then

[Turbo2.6L]

End of May it finishes. Still got 5 left...

[Evman]

Never run a bike but there's always plenty there. They cater for everyone pretty well IMO

[mys1]

Apparently Super Duke runs 11's keen to try!

[mr_mike]

do u need full leathers to run at the drags or just jacket and long/denim pants?

[S133LTR]

Long pants/jacket/closed shoes/gloves/helmet and roadworthy bike.

[Halle Terry]

Do you need a helmet with AUS standards?

[Lozzle]

Took the RS250 down but can't find my timeslips. Probably nothing amazing but it was fun!

Keen to head down with the CBR before it closes for winter.

All Motorcycle riders need a recognised riding jacket with appropriate protection inserts, or leather riding jacket, long pants ankle length boots full leather motorcycle riding gloves as minimum or preferably full bike riding leathers.

Ran 11.1 on my FZ1s

Keeping the front wheel down seems to be the biggest challenge. Lots of people strap the front.

It's always a giggle to watch newbies on Busa's run mid 10's better is when smart arse's tell them it will run 9's.

[mav_vlt]

i ran 12.3 on my cbr600

brother inlaw got 10.89 on his gsxr 750

[miss_petepie]

Factory quoted time for my bike is 10.8, wonder if i can get near that.

[mr_mike]
