I'll give you a 1/2 mile head start on a 1/4 mile race!

Ol so i said this to my lead man at work. I have a reace ecm k&n air filter and a D&D pipe. Hes got a 06 H-D Road Glide 96 CI motor hes got a pipe and a race tuner on it but that isnt to much. Do i have a chance at beating him on me 3/4 him 1/4 mile race?

 

[dave_xb12r]

I think he'll win before the race starts.

He's gonna eat you alive. Ya you bike's fast but you have to know what you've got, he's got more, lol. Wayne

 

[xbhooligan434]

im with dave on this one,

you two dont even have to start your bikes for this argument to be put to rest

 

[konarider94]

so you want to know if you can go 3/4 mile in the time it takes him to go 1/4 mile? You need to sit down with some physics equations to see what that would actually take.

i think you might still have a chance by giving him a 3 second head start but probably not too much more than that. unless your banking on his bike breaking.

Yep, he's got you hands down. If you give him a 1/2 mile head start on a quarter mile race, he wins twice before you even launch

If you give him a 1/2 mile head start on a quarter mile race, he wins twice before you even launch

thats what i think to you trying to give money away?

 

[xtreme6669]

I think some of you are missing the details here... the race is 3/4 mile... the buell has to do the entire 3/4 mile but the hd gets to start at the 1/2 mile point and only actually has to travel 1/4 mile to the finish.

BTW, you will lose bad.

 

[browland]

no that would be I will give you 1/2 mile head start on a 3/4 mile race.

 

[bardo688]

just give the guy a good head start then smoke him just realize whats good and whats waaay to much

 

[dave_xb12r]

just give him a 500' head start on a 1/4 mile race

 

[xtremelow]

You would have to be running 7 sec 1/4 miles to beat him in a race like that, no matter how hard you try he will beat you since a stock Harley can do a 1/4 mile in 13-14secs. Your bike can do a 1/4 mile in about 10.5 secs.

 

[IRULE]

09CRRED1, are you giving money away? There is no freakin way you going to win on either arguments. First argument, you lost before the race start. Second argument, he'll beat you before you shift to 3rd gear. You are crazy!

 

[nativeXb12Rbuell]

you can give me 1/2 dollar for my 1/4 dollar , i'll take that exchange all day long.


but no matter what or how much headstart you get or give him.
He has got you beat because he has all that fast chrome. not to mention the (at least one or more of the following)better aerodynamics with the doo doo ragg and fringe on the handle bars , sissy bar, leathers chaps, big aero-gut , and / or cup holders !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ummmm, isn't this a little late for April Fool's?

HALF a mile head start on a 1/4 mile race... so let's see how this works:

The other guy starts... hit's the 1/4 mile, WINS, turns around, comes back a 1/4 mile (if you're doing the math, we're NOW at a half mile) tags you & then you're supposed to do a 3/4 mile for what purpose? Uhhhh [confused][confused][confused]

And not to be an A-hole, but do people not proof-read what they post? I'm not even talking content, how about basic spelling and grammar? It takes real effort to decipher some of these posts & answers. Geeze.

 

[09CRRED1]

yea i didnt think i would but i like the sound of the title anyways. but when i told him he thought about it pretty hard and btw he weighs about 300lb+ im only at 158 and yea if u wana say it different a 3/4 mile race and he gets a 1/2 mile head start

 

[SchlongCR]

There you go again. I'm with Maskido on the deciphering of some of these posts.

 

[firebolt020283]

I know I make spelling mistakes from time to time but those are mostly at work because I cannot use firefox at work and ie does not have spell check on it. But I would say for those of you who are spelling challenged like my self firefox is your friend as it has a built in spell check (besides you can give it a buell theme)

 

[agfish18]

stock Harley can do a 1/4 mile in 13-14secs. Your bike can do a 1/4 mile in about 10.5 secs.

Agreed. if you can find a way to mod your bike to do a 3/4 of a mile in 13-14 seconds, you may have a chance... otherwise, I doubt it.

 

[09CRRED1]

well then i better just drop a 1190 in it and get some race tires
