did you catch the bit where he said he hasn't ridden for awhile (at all), that is one potent dirt tracker!

beyond legendary status , thats what I was thinking too. My jaw didnt drop as much as my eyes welled up.How a guy his age can get on that thing and go wideopen from the drop off the clutch is just beyond me.

That's exactly what i was thinking. I can't believe how hard he went straight up after saying he hadn't even ridden a bike for a year!
That thing would be an absolute beast to ride. Even Rossi was impressed!

see also http://www.evisor.tv/tv/halloffame/king-kenny-rides-again-der-alt-10246.htm

“when I raced it, which ran a lot better than this year’s [replica] bike.
   It was geared for 145MPH in 5th, at 10,000 RPM.
   I looked at the tach once, and it was 11,500 – so I have NO idea how fast the thing was going. No idea.
  All I know is that when it hooked up and you could shift it, it didn’t just go by Harley’s...  it FLEW by Harley’s!!
  Ahhh... getting it to stop was another problem!
  Had I had the [modern] tyres that that thing  had last night, they wouldn’t have saw which way the thing went.”

He always did have a big opinion of himself, but he definitely could back it up.
For someone who did as many miles on a race bike as him, not having ridden for a year isn't long.
Impressive nun the less.

me too  Hilly :D my favorite 10 seconds between 3:40 - 3:50. No rooting around, turns the bike around, lines up the first corner, cranks up the revs, dumps the clutch, holds it nailed flat shifting to the first corner and how the bike twiches for a split second when he hops off the gas and back on again to set up the slide...greeeeeat stuff 8)..oh and the sound!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

"I'm sure the guy says "rounding it in deep into turn 3, Kevin Schwantz has the white flag in the air, coming out of turn 4 lookin' for the white flag"  8)

He can ride well, but obviously not so good at high-school maths....  :D

If 10,000rpm is 145mph, then he was doing 166.75mph at 11,500rpm in fifth gear.
That'd be plenty, I reckon!  :o
