A lot of fun there at Oley. They’ve got some bad azz Sportsters. Will be running in the April antique drags for sure.

Wow, as a spectator, that is a lot of bang for the buck to see so many races in a short period of time. I saw at least 2 women, do they have a woman's only category ever?

very short forks , very short shocks , 6000 rpm and dumb the clutch and stock tires, advanced position seat? Is this the recipe to not flip the bike while letting the clutch lever? With my sportster if I let the clutch like this, I can't avoid tipping over..

no women only class at Oley.the seat position is close to stock.the upright is to keep you planted there.i doubt any of those bikes in the video had 90 cu.in.like yours does cov90.

Several years ago I went to a shop on Long Island for some machine work and while there I got to talking to the owner and mentioned I had a Zippers 99 kit in my 03. He directed me to another area in the shop and pointed to his drag bike which had the 99 kit. He said he launches at 3500rpm and yes he has a wheely bar. |

I have fabricated a similar seat like the ones in the video, nothing special, it has to be improved....
The only problem is that in this way , my bike it's even more prone to wheelies.
