According to EJ

Postman Road near Dairy Flat, above Albany! 2.5 kilometres of PUUUUUREEE Straight

Is good place todo 0-100kph vids shoot.

However people do say it's license losing point for past 30years.

What you guys reckon? I really really want to take 0-100 vid so if you guys have any other place that you think it's capable of doing so post up in here!!

If you don't know what I'm talking about have a look at

If there is flat carpark that is 2km x 1km wide and empty during weekends I will.

takes a 1/4 mile to get a gn up to speed

or if its mine it'll do it in less, but you have to lean the mixture to the point of burning valves and it'll make it to 110 two up

and yer, shit does start flying off it at that speed

**Real_Wolf** · 30th July 2008, 13:15

It takes that long to get up to 100? And bits fly off? Man, even my XS250 can beat that, and its pitiful.

Of course you'll have to get it started, but once its running its fine.

Had to be bump started yesterday when I was leaving uni, :P, decided not to take it in today even though it started under the electric start with no real fuss. Will see if it starts again tonight.

But still, 1/4 mile to get to 100....

**BANZAI** · 30th July 2008, 14:07

I just don't think GN needs 1/4mile to get up to 100k.

I can race against Carolla till 50kph and my power to weight ratio is 22bhp/129kg=5.86bhp/kg which is not a bad figure!!!!
