Whoa! Way too fast.....

So...after a few days of fine tuning the black widow she is running like a freaking beast! Dave Rust @ Arrow builds quality stuff!!

This morning I decided...."He'll, lets see what see can do!" After triple checking EVERYTHING, I removed all non essential items....tool box, kickstand, lights, etc. I then borrowed my neighbors full face helmet and crotch rocket jacket and pants. Woke up the ole lady so she could ride next to me in the car.

Bike specs:

4.5 arrow street racer engine
Custom kx60 exhaust
100:1 opti-2 mix with 93 octane
Kenda 2.0 kwik roller tires
Halo downhill mtb rims

Rider - 6'2 185

Location:

Central FL, HOT, HUMID, sea level

Well, I'm proud to say.....I topped 55mph on my third run!!! Probably the scariest time of my life, but awesome at the same time! O..the road was nice and flat and freshly paved. Also, 70psi in the tires. No wind.

The bike ran surprisingly smooth. I take that as a pat on my own back. If it didn't, I'd have no one to blame but myself since I built it.

Just read the thread. I don't know how accurate my gps actually as...I'm assuming within a few mph's. my ole lady said she was bouncing back btwn 52-54 on her digital speedometer in the civic.

Maybe it was a fluke....I dunno. Maybe I just got one **** of an engine from arrow. BUT, I know one thing, I was freaking moving and it was scarier than he'll! LOL

Yes....way too fast for a bicycle! Lol

They are the Kenda Kwik rollers. I have had no issues with them whatsoever. It is pretty flat here in central florida and rains almost every afternoon. They handle well in the wet and roll awesome!
