Motorcycles at NoFlyZone...? Discuss

[lefty]

I've been on every expressway around at WELL over the speedlimits and passed on shoulders and the solid (at those speeds) lines between the lanes. Unless there are big ass potholes bikes will be fine, might catch a little air like on lower Wacker or lake st but that just makes it more fun

What happens to the insurance costs if you let bikes run?

Can I be present when you tell the insurance agent you want to insure bikes that will be approaching 200 mph on old runways? That should be a fun conversation.

Yes, bikes should be allowed. But from a safety standpoint I would only allow bike vs bike or solo. You would definitely increase paying participants.

Unless somebody shows up with some insane built turbo bike, nobody is going to be anywhere near 200mph in a half mile.

I'm also casting my support for BvB or Solo.

And yeah, if there are ANY incidents with a Bike vs Car whomever you are using for insurance is going to probably drop the event all together. Bad precedent.

[MENTION=11939]FlyingGuy[/MENTION], any update on this?

Been slacking... dealing with our Arizona event.

Anyway, I am continuing to look into this. Plenty of concerns, and cost to consider, and its very difficult to gauge how it would turn out.

Insurance increase just to have bikes on the runway, regardless if solo, vs bike/car, is significantly significant. Also, runway condition plays a different role on a bike vs a car. The approach pad that we start on, with all the arrows, did still have some areas or vegetation growing thru the crack. The runway surface itself was solid, just areas of uneven slurry. But, we will see how it all goes...

Bring some roundup with for the vegetation problem. Anyone have a hotrodded lawn tractor?

I volunteer to run my bike down to see if it is safe or not

Sled vs bike?

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

Wait bikes are allowed this year?? Ill definitely go if so

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

I wouldn't suggest allowing bike vs car. I'd do it personally, but I'd have to pick my opponent. lol

 

[TCG Member 5219]

If bikes are allowed, then I want to see wheelie runs too. See who can hold one all the way down the half.

Not likely

Sounds like bikes are out for this go around.
