BangShift Question Of The Day: Would You Ride A Top Fuel Harley?


BangShift Question Of The Day: Would You Ride A Top Fuel Harley?

The answer for me is hells to the no baby. I will drive anything. But I’ve never been a real bike guy, so maybe that is part of it, but the other thing is I don’t want 1500hp between my legs on a machine that only uses the front wheel to hold itself up when stopped. Not going to happen. But lots of guys dream of riding one. Or other crazy stuff for that matter. As we saw when Chris Matheson exited his ANDRA Top Bike at somewhere well over 200 mph, there is nothing around to protect you except leather and a helmet. No gracias senior. I want some roll cage, or a roof or door or something. If you think I’m nuts and say you would totally jump on one of these, I’ll support you, but don’t ask me to do much more than a burnout.

So, Would You Ride A Top Fuel Harley?

    i’d ride one with a little bit of training, shifting and allowing the bike to walk take some practice.

    YES. YES I WOULD. I’ve always wanted a fuel Harley, I would jump at the chance to ride one, all the way from a nostalgia ironhead through a pro drag, pro fuel or top fuel. I’d love to learn how to tune one, too.

    I’d be happy to hop on it, on its trailer, and be towed around.

    Like they say, “A man has got to know his limitations.”

    HELL YEAH I WOULD DO IT AGAIN…….rode them in the mid eighties for people then wrecked hard in 1986 at union grove WI. the crank came out about 150 before the finish line….11 months in hospital, 52 broken bones, 4 months in coma, going off a bike at 202 mph and living……priceless.
