Did you add a little meat to the equation since the last time you were here? I dont remember a 727 rocket raptor...

Coolguy8769, Oops, sorry about forgetting to add a reply. The wings are just for looks during parades and exhibitions. The alba site shows the bike in race form (version 3.0). And, yeah, when it hits, it's a rush.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Yeah, it WAS a re-sleeved 727 for a while. But, we got better performance with the 686 so went back to it. But, when Dirt Wheels did the story, it was still a 727.

I seen that article in dirtwheels and was wondering if that was you. I think it is a great idea. It benefits everybody, the more attention ATV's get, the more machines and products will be available.

I was also wondering about that big wing, does that really help stabilize it?
No stabilization, just looks. The story was done right after I organized the Guiness ATV World Record Parade and they were there for exhibition only. By the ay, that story is in the same mag as the rocket. And I fully agree, the ATV's need the press.

Congrats. I saw a bunch about your bike very impressive. But I was wondering what the rules are to the record such as limitations. Because there are shees that hit over 130 in a 1/8 mile drag with banshee engines but thats not a record.
Guiness says you have to have a production bike, no bodywork other than cutting and some minor plastic changes, and you have to sustain the average speed over a full 1/8 mile, two consecutive passes in two directions, off-road, flying start. There are other rules, but we plan to make up different categories and rules as we make this happen. Thanks.

Congrat's on the record......it would be a challenge just to stay on a quad at that kind of speed.
