Sounds like one of them " here, hold my beer and watch this" moments. Be sure to tape it for Yourtube.

Why would you want to do it??? do you have a uncontrollable urge to prove how dumb you are?? if you insist on doing it be our guest, it s your bike, your life, seems you don't think much of either.

Being 6'6", I usually will hang back in the crowd, cuz I can see over most ppl's heads, and do not want to block their view. BUT, I do make exceptions so I can get a good look. THIS is one of those exceptions. "Mr. usher, front row seat, please."

First I'd suggest having the engine built to 103ci to get enough torque. Make sure your bike and life insurance are up to date. Next trailer the bike to the Bonneville salt flats so you can practice without killing anyone else when the bike flys out from under you. Keep practicing until you get the hang of it, the bike quits running, or you injure yourself. Which ever comes first.
