200mph Club
Phil:
Here are the dates for top speed events run by 200mph, the events are run by Straightliners. The speeds are usualy measured over the standing mile as this seems to be the latest standard for both here and America. There is league table so those over 200 can see where they stand in the world rankings. Occasionaly there is enough braking distance to allow 1.4 miles.
Anyway, dates are :-
2014 200MPH and UK TIMING ASSOCIATION TOP SPEED DATES
17 March Top Speed Monday Elvington
5/6 April Woodbridge Suffolk Mile
14 April Top Speed Monday Elvington
17/18/ May Yorkshire Mile & British National Records
16 June Top Speed Monday Elvington
5 July Sculthorpe Norfolk Mile
22 July Top Speed Tuesday - Elvington
16/17 August Northern Speed Trials/Elvington World wheelie records
27/28 September Woodbridge Suffolk Mile
20 October Top Speed Monday - Elvington
There will be a Top Speed Championship in 2014 classes to be advised

Phil many thanks mate itt would be rude for me not to get In haha.
I am out in Germany and had a silly couple of hours today but not being a sunday there was a too much traffic and it wasn't on a autobahn Suitable one I fancy to get her wide open but I made some maps to suit the colder weather I did get her Uup to 180 on the sat nav. My hopes are for this sunday when I will be on appropriate Autobahn.
michael4012:
with the +1 front & -2 rear i couldn't get here to pull past the 180 which i got with standard sprocket sizes. I did a couple of runs with just the +1 front getting to 180 again without to much difficulty from the bike but road conditions and traffic played against me so it'll be a another crack after Xmas probably the weekend 28th-29th.
michael4012:
The best GPS recording I got was 184 the speedo appeared to stop. At 189 this was with the -2 sprocket on the rear & the bike as standard ie mirrors indicators & number plate its also worth noting she got a double bubble screen IV got it recorded on cam showing the speedo & sat nav readings when home I will get put up on u tube and post the link! I'm happy with 184 on a road spec 08!
michael4012:
I was wrong it actually achieved 185mph as recorded on the SAT NAV
