Yes, I know they share nothing with a factory bike, but the name will be in the history books instead of H-D! Hector Jr. was the first in Pro Stock Motorcycle to hit 200 mph (200.23 mph to be exact) on a bike with the EBR bodywork today at the Gator Nationals. At this point it's a small victory, but I'll take it with a big grin on my face.

The front fairing looks like EBR, the rest of the bike not so much.

They use the word "stock" in the name...

I dont think this word means what they think it means.

Still, pretty cool

Highly-modified Buell bodywork first to 200.

You would think that on this board people would understand the evolution of race vehicles and why it happens, but I guess not.

I think it's cool that a bike with EBR on the tank sets the record yet I find it ironic that a bike with EBR on it can't go around a corner!

The 'stock' in drag racing classes stands for 'headlight looking sticker on the front'.

But really? Duh. welcome to racing. Would you watch a bunch of factory stock bikes go much slower? Neither would I.


Congrats to the whole team!!!

Don't feel too bad, there's another dead product line in the background.
So long V-Rod.

Ignore the haters, thanks Jeff

How true! I was in a Victory/Indian shop a while back and walked in and looked at one of the Victorys. The salesman asked if I was interested in a Victory and I said Sure! Might as well own another red headed step child! So he asked what else I owned and I told him a Buell. He just said, Oh.

As far as racing, I don't think any NASCAR has a Ford, Chevy or Toyota part on them, do they? I really don't know.

Not only will they not turn, they won't tip over either.
That's why Hector let Julie roll it down the staging lanes to the start.
Yes that is a Buell stickered bike, and it's the championship bike for 2009.

Hector took a real shine to her, so she got to have some fun at the Mile High Nationals.

Cool they finally broke that barrier.
Shame that the brand that did it is extinct.

An intergluteal cleft? Yes. Though I don't know where she keeps it.

Oh you mean my niece? I guess she makes up for the lack of plumber's crack elsewhere.





No worries, it's all good.
