Hi guys,
So I'm keen to get along to drag-wars at Meremere. What's the deal with launching and drag-racing a bike?
I'm not interesting in modifying or 'strapping' (whatever that is), I'd just like to know how fast I can ride my daily commute down the quarter-mile.
I assume that wheelies are bad and that I should just twist the wrist as much as I can while keeping the front-wheel on the ground.... and that's it?
Can someone give me a really basic run-down of the stance or method for doing an optimal run? ie.
* Do you launch with both feet on the ground?
* Take each gear to redline or do you change at the point where the bike is producing optimal HP?
* If you reduce the tyre pressure is there facility at Meremere to pump them up again when you head home?
* How much gas in the tank should you arrive with?
You know, the basics
