I got very close to them in Florida, stipidly close to take Photos of one of these Monsters. I did not really realise how fast they can move.....

I did not mean to say spending big$ was the only option, but a nice one to have.
And certainly some big $'ers have been spent on that 660z.
Forks, rear shock, custom built rear wheel.... ca-ching-ching!
Putting that sort of money on top of the cost of a Tenere, sure makes me feel the 690 was not too expensive. But the tenere seat looks very comfortable, that might be worth the money/effort.

While we are talking ducati's, I could see one of those Hypermotard 796's becoming a pretty nice adventure bike. 21inch front, 18 rear, longer travel rear linkage, repalce the front forks and put an off road style fender on the front, woooooot!

What ya do is you get someone to hold the bike at its balance point while you get ready with the camera. When you say go the guy holding the bike runs out of shot and you take the picture before the bike falls over. if you do it well the holding guy can get back and catch it before it falls. its a great way to damage your bike without actually riding it.

ALL good photos you see are tweaked in some manner, and that's not a bad thing. Wet film photographers use lots of tricks while developing & printing to produce a good result (and of course, before that stage). Digital photographers are no different in that regard.

Having watched BD work, it is amazing how a few clicks here and there can transform the raw image from good to great, or in the case of my photos, from crap to merely acceptable. :cool: Of course, there's a lot of skill in knowing what & how to do this.

Edit, I may have posted one of these before. still cool. Not an adv bike but still cool.

[Woodman]

Not bike related but cool anyway.

Some quite amazing statistics.
You don't have to be a drag racing fan to appreciate these statistics.

Some Interesting Top Fuel Dragster Facts:

-One dragster's 500-inch Hemi makes more horsepower then the first 8 rows at Daytona.

-Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 1 ½ gallons of nitro per second, the same rate of fuel consumption as a fully loaded 747, but with 4 times the energy density.

-The supercharger takes more power to drive then a stock hemi makes.

-With nearly 3000 CFM of air being rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive, the fuel mixture is compressed into nearly-solid form before ignition.

-Cylinders run on the verge of hydraulic lock.

-Dual magnetos apply 44 amps to each spark plug.
This is the output of an arc welder in each cylinder.

-At stoichiometric (exact) 1.7:1 air/fuel mixture (for nitro), the flame front of nitro methane measures 7050 degrees F.

-Nitro methane burns yellow. The spectacular white flame seen above the exhaust stacks at night is raw burning hydrogen, dissociated from
atmospheric water vapour by the searing exhaust gases.

-Spark plug electrodes are totally consumed during a pass. After ½ way, the engine is dieseling from compression plus the glow of exhaust valves at 1400 degrees F.

-The engine can only be shut down by cutting off its fuel flow.

-If spark momentarily fails early in the run, unburned nitro builds up in those cylinders and then explodes with a force that can blow cylinder heads off the block in pieces or blow the block in half.

-Dragsters twist the crank (torsionally) so far (20 degrees in the big end of the crank) that sometimes cam lobes are ground offset from front to rear to re-phase the valve timing somewhere closer to synchronisation with the pistons.

-To exceed 300mph in 4.5 seconds dragsters must accelerate at an average of over 4G's. But in reaching 200 mph well before ½ track, launch acceleration is closer to 8G's.

-If all the equipment is paid off, the crew worked for free, and for once NOTHING BLOWS UP, each run costs $1000.00 per second.

-Dragsters reach over 300 miles per hour before you have read this sentence.

-Top Fuel Engines ONLY turns 540 revolutions from light to light!

-The redline is actually quite high at 9500rpm.

-To give you an idea of this acceleration, the current TF dragster elapsed time record is 4.477 seconds for the quarter mile.

-This means that you could be coming across the starting line in your average Lingenfelter powered "twin-turbo" Corvette at 200 mph (on a FLYING START) and the dragster would BEAT you to the finish line FROM A DEAD STOP in a Quarter mile distance!

cant comprehend that

[Padmei]

But some knobblies on it & then we'll see if it's cool.

[Willdat?]

cant comprehend that

If the Corvette was doing the flying 1/4 starting at 200mph the top fuel dragster would still win

200mph = 200/3600 miles per SECOND x 4.477 second top fuel record = 0.248 m = less than a 1/4 mile

Crikey!
