Peter's point (about the Goldwing) is a funny one.

Good question. I turned 2'05" in my FF, but that was pretty slow; it was a '72 Elden with outboard suspension, so top speed was limited. I could google and see what kind of times the Grand Am cup cars, i.e. the factory S4's, the Saleens, etc. turn. My guess would be in the 2'20" range.

As for the Goldwing bit - Erik Buell (as in Buell Motorcycles) and I were in Japan one time on Goldwings courtesy of Honda. You've never seen anything like the two of us grinding the footpegs all the way down Mt. Fuji (can't remember the name of the road, but TJ could help).

I like this thread.

So it sounds like we could beat or challenge..
-50cc mopeds
-Goldwing
-Harley Sportster (I'm throwing that in)

...any thing else? (Peter's Dad's Ducati?

)

I'd throw out that Sportser - Compare Scott 'Z-man' Zampach's lap times at Mid-Ohio on a Harley 883 Sporster to anything resembling a street car and you'd be embarrased
