Highway pegs??!
Nah, just home made frame sliders using BMX foot pegs. You know, the ones the kids put on the front and rear axles so they can do tricks and stuff?

So Dave, are you off to WITB again this year?

Cheers,
Pete

wattie was one pissed off puppy. no 10sec...
You have one very good Z1000 I suggest :) . Of the 2 I have seen run, one with a approx 80kg rider, std bike, pulling high 11.3's - low 11.4.'s The other with pipe's, PC III etc, running 11.2's with approx 70kg rider.
A ZX9 with approx 85 kg rider ran 10.7's.

Mate i did a 10.8 on mine at willowbank, and i am no drag racer :wink: I weigh 80 odd kgs.

That is an excellant time for such a low terminal speed . My ZRX is pullin similar speeds to this. The Z1000's up here are pulling around 135mph.
