My bagger by a large margin.... Horsepower and good leave were key.... Vrod was tuned to 165hp... I did think given weight consideration it would have been closer,,,, yet my 208 hp and great torque did the job... Lots of great racing all day.....

Awesome stuff...looks like the Vrod overpowered his takeoff! The one time that the weight of a bagger is actually a blessing...lol

The driver was a great sport.... he thought after he got out he would real me in,,, he was surprised when the gap got bigger.... to much of a power gap... fun for all nevertheless... The Hampsters are a great bunch of guys that for that afternoon each year love to race their bikes. The best part is that fun for them is to race, and not the win... I really appreciate them allowing some of outsiders to share the fun. Some very bad *** bikes were on the street that day.

Hey what a coincidence, here are a couple of pic's of my road glide vs a cvo softail. I remember this run, I think I was standing in the same area that the picture was taken from.
