ball park is
a pretty GENERAL term
on good salt, an open bike
in a class like Ed was
inquiring about 500cc
twin gas class it would be ballpark
to expect 5mph or less
Now a turbo bike making 400hp
might get "a bit" more
Did Rick get that kind
of wheel spin averaged
over the entire mile with a normally
aspirated bike on the salt
in the fastest average mile?
curious Joe :)
