That's only because Otis & Hubbard haven't made it to the Salt Flats yet! 

<--- HBRR LSR DOMINATOR----<<<205.069mph 

According to what I've been able to find out, the record everybody keeps mentioning was set with an 88" engine. Otis's engine is and Hubbard's is a 124 (sorry if I'm off here, but that's what I recall) anyway, they would be in a different class than the so called " world's fastest bagger "

I heard Otis' bike was stock, B! Hoist!

Actually he fessed up one late night in Maggie Valley. He said he completely disassembled the engine, took it to a cryrogenics place and had em lower the temp down to minus 240 to rearrange the molecules of the metal. Then he took it to an engine guru buddy of his and had it balanced and blueprinted, did some headwork and cam stuff and that's it.

Hey there Big B-

I'm not sure about the c.i. of the Bagger LSR. I thought the Klock Kerks bike was a bigger c.i. than 88. I have the article here, but it says nothing about the motor. Whatever size it is, it's all S&S. The 143.686 mph run, even though a record, sure don't seem that impressive for a big mod c.i. twin. So maybe the Klock Werks bike is only 88c.i.  Now that the word is out for a LSR bagger I'm sure this record will be blown out of the water.

It's been nothing for me to run up to 130mph (on gps) with my bike two up with plenty of rpm left. And it's only a 113'' w/24/37 primary gearing. The reason I let off there is because of the crazy headshake from that damn batwing fairing!!

With gearing changes, a roadglide chasis & big mod c.i. twin. I don't see any reason why the record couldn't be more like 190-200mph.... Just my thoughts.

Mark,
         I agree completely with everything you're saying. My point is all of these " World Records " are class specific. Bobby Moreland holds a couple of world records at 221 mph. We all know that's not the fastest any motorcycle has gone, but it's the class he did his runs in. I don't claim to know eveything about all of this, but there are classes for no fairing, classes for fairings, classes for streamliners and in each of those classes are sub classes depending on cc's. The dude in the move " The World's Fastest Indian " still holds a couple of records in the under 1000cc liner class. Wink, the big guy from the short lived TV SHow BIG (remember the bike out front of Wheels Through Time ) holds some records in the unfaired classes. Bottom line you could build a big inch Road Glide and own a record. Just not the record that this dude's wife currently holds UNLESS you go after that record specifically.

just my $0.02

I just found the March/April 2007 issue at BI/LO's. Still waiting for the subscription.

[Ceej]

I look forward to checking out the new mag. In all honesty, Some of the best writing I've read in the past 16 months has been written on this site by its members, for that I thank you all.   

[SBB]

So I subscribed when Grover first posted.
45 buckeroos gone.
Has anyone actually gotten their first issue delivered?

Does the mag really exist?

Patience is not my strong suit!

        If memory serves, the website I subscribed on said something like 6 weeks before I'd see my first issue. I'd forgotten about it till you posted this. Thanks for reminding me - - - - - - - - NOT !
