That is twice as quick as I put my 1967 Triumph Trophy through the 1967 NZ National 1/4 Mile.

That would have been pretty quick in the day?

Not bad.

But check out the latest Cycle world mag for a really cool drag racing bike/story.

A twin engined Triumph running 8.74 @ 175mph back in 1971!

They also have a fantastic picture of it doing an awesome burnout and wheelie at massive speed!

I was just about to post that!!
Boris Murray. And it wasn't really a burnout as such, they all used to smoke the tyre down the strip (running 4 inch tyres and no slider clutch)

Tiny pic, can't find better

Are you sure its not his amazingly large nads rubbing on the wheel?

[gatch]

That is by far the coolest pic I have ever seen.

I thought Eddie Lawson getting sideways in black and white was cool. But this..

This is something else..

Those records are over a year old. Athol's gone quicker this year again and even quicker on the Westy Island.

Here's a nice pic of him running out of strip

What time did you do Kev ? Connet RD strip was only an 8th not a 1/4 , had my GSXR there once cleaned up , . Didn't even get out of 3rd gear wheel spun it from start out through the end . Nothing like do the flying down Glen road out round the coast . Chris Meads had his GSX 1135 there & bet my 179MPH flying but did a 9.95 standing which I believe was the fastest for the day there to . LOL Remember taking the door of the Timing caravan at Frankley Rd Drags one year on my Road kitted YZ490 great fun 1/4 mile wheelie drags then would come back to the start & do feet up burnouts around the start line till I lost control & bounced of the caravan abit drunk by then Heehehe . Are those where the days !!
