he would have a clue as he rides modified mx bikes not sliders.it depends on motor and the way its set up.i think you could get near 80mph down the streight on a average bike.curly what do you think

[Curly3]

Yeah Jim 80mph would be close to max speed and that would be A graders on 500's.
If I remember rightly the talk was that around 70mph was top speed at the old Syd Showground, which doesn't sound that quick compared the GP bikes but believe me on a narrow track and surrounded by concrete it felt bloody fast.
Not to mention No Brakes.
Hopefully I'll catch up with you at Nepean on Sat night.

This this way off bat(thread hijack-doing that a bit tonight  ) but I'm presuming that a slider is similar to a solo speedway bike.
We headed down to a Motorcycle Museum about an hour or so South West of Brisbane and found 4 solo speedway bikes,amongst others(below) .   Jawa's where popular.
Peed I didn't take a pic now 
Do you know these speedway solo bikes history ?

Hey k, did you have the number 31 and wearing red white & blue leathers at Nepean the other weekend.
I think there is a photo of you on the St George club website.
Stick with it, when you get it right it is bloody good fun.
