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.

Reply #3 - 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.

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

Reply #9 - 09/22/10 at 03:36:37 When I was in the late 20's I did that on a Kawa 750. 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.

if you were on a deserted road or an air strip ,it was not stupid ,it was fun and your bike was way bigger than mine. the bigger the better.
