GoldWing on the Drag Strip


 
   

I took my GL1800 GoldWing down to the drag strip just to see what it could do. I got spanked by a couple of the high end drag bikes but I kept up just fine with the rest. www.schworak.com/family/glenn

No pleasing some people is there? A comment like that from vadim5891 is rude for one thing and uneducated for another. Oh well, no skin off my nose.

Slow piece of crap. that's why you don't even show the times and just make up your own numbers at the end.

Yes, the 12 second time was a typing error and I just never took the time to re-edit the video. I figured people would catch that one. It is actually the pro-drag bike I am against that had that time.A friend of mine actually edited the video for me and took the times off the drag time slips. I think on that one he read out of the wrong column which shows my time in one column and the drag bike in the other. I got spanked on that run.

Hahaha nice, the long wheelbase has to help it heaps off the line, a lot less prone to wheelies!Just curious, is run #3 a typo (12 flat) or did you just get an exceptionally good launch? That's a second quicker than the rest but with a similar terminal speed. Either way a flat 13 is pretty good for a bike that heavy and one that's marketed as a cruiser - glad to see you out there enjoying it :)

Wow, great job! Gotta love the Wing! Great on the strip, great in the twisties, and great on the superslab! And great around the campfire too, for the stereo...LOL

It is amazing that a stock street bike was able to hold its own. And with a little practice I probably could have done a bit better but this was my first and only time to go to the drag strip. Now I want some video of me scraping my knee while taking the corners along side the racing style bikes :-)
