The bike looks great! I'm surprised Ford let them tape some of the Proving Grounds. Harley has been out there testing for some time. When we were out their doing our hot weather development, they would close down the track and do high speed laps at 140mph. Those guys were nuts.

It would be 115 deg or more and they are out in full leather gear for hours in the sun. It was just crazy seeing these guys flying on the track. I've sweated my A$$ of in those soak sheds over the last 8 years.

Never did it in full leathers and it was hot as he!!.
Gotta admire those guys sticking their neck out in that heat and testing proto-type engines at over 100mph on a bike.

I just shut the TV off, the birth of the V-Rod was cool, and the Jessie James motorcycle mania's were awesome. Thanks Don for calling me and reminding me that they were on tonight.
