Easy now Taz. You are approaching the world record (4.428 seconds set by Tony Schumacher. Schumacher holds the top speed record for the quarter mile at 336.15 mph) Even a cycle hasn't broken 5 seconds yet (close, 5.27 seconds). And then... IF you COULD build it, would you drive it? on 10" wheels? :peace:

Check this YouTube cycle at 5.27 seconds, 404 mph.

I would suspect they mean 1/8 mile, not a 1/4 mile.

im just sayin I can build any thing just as fast as anyone else. I have unlimited parts to choose from. I have a s*** load of tricks up my sleave if needed. I will build a bike this winter and test it on the track in vegas this spring. Im gettin old so I will find a rider. hehe. I will post all times and speeds.
I have two sets of gear ratios for the dio/elite s,sr
15*42 & 17*41
I like the 17*41's myself due to the massive top end.

...yeah, that's gotta be 1/8 mile...

and, luny, if i'm not mistaken, kitty o'niel still holds the record, 3.22 @412mph in the quarter in 1977, shortly before the nhra banned rocket-propelled cars. perhaps it's not well known because the record is held by a woman....

My bad, not stock...The wife does have the Keli variator :oops: didn't think about it this morning when i posted, she hits the "p" in "mph". And she only weighs 120 #'s.

Here's what was said, by me:
Who cares if MD can do the 1/4 mile on his scoot in 5 seconds
Tongue in cheek on that. :naughty:

Maybe the gear between brain and finger was not engaged, but he did say it. I'm sure he's had second thoughts.

The YouTubes posted are 1/4 mile and they represent the records as google-able. The records are NHRA. Kitty O'Niel ran on Mojave Desert, not NHRA race. I doubt that it was discredited because she was a woman, but because it was not an actual NHRA race and also because rocket-propelled cars were banned.

The YouTube for the scooter screwed up. Here's the correct one.

His time was 11.9 seconds, 109 mph. Look at the size of that tire.
