Title: Re: Rollie Free incarnate... Post by Phelonius on 09/20/10 at 11:01:43 Similar technique but he's not as fat and he didn't point his toes. Phelonius Back in the day when I first saw the famous photo of Rolly, I went out and tried it on my 250cc BMW R26. I only got just a little over 136 KMPH, it had a metric speedo. |

Title: Re: Rollie Free incarnate... Post by Lupo on 09/20/10 at 11:33:37 whoo.. and I thought I was stupid. I feel better now. You know Rollie did it on the flats and as a last ditch attempt. Moped head is doing that for fun. Darwinism at it's best. :D |

Title: Re: Rollie Free incarnate... Post by mick on 09/20/10 at 11:47:22 I tried to beat Rolly ,but I came close but no cigar on my 197 cc Ambasidor,note the horn,I think that horn was the problem,to much drag.plus I was giving Rolly a 800 cc handicap. http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr311/mickrowe37/ScannedImage006.jpg |

Post by kennycreed on 09/21/10 at 00:01:00 Hi Mick, your photo of the embassador took back memories to me, It was a cracking we bike and it couldn't half go, but when I would fill the tank with mix (I still remember 20:1) , I would always just add a wee bit more oil than the measure just to be sure, and there was always a cloud of blue smoke following me, I just couldn't get out of the habit of adding that extra wee bit of oil |

Feet straight back off the seat, layin arms across the tank, head on arm, cocked sideways so I could see betwween the clocks. Yea, its a stupid stunt,,I dont think I even got over 110 mph out of it. |
