I would say only if you are the kind of guy who asks directions when lost. Else abandon all hope. :-)

Never watched the Red Green Show I take it! ;-)

Just going 144 is awesome, doing it electrically is really impressive.

Thanks Bob. We are pretty happy with the results. The team is still considering trying again in September, they really want to top 150. But we are busy with the design of the next generation bike that we hope to race at IoM next June so no distraction are allowed!

Racing at IOM, very cool

[Buckeye56]

That's the plan. Time and MONEY will tell! ;-) The student leaders are preparing a presentation for a potential major sponsor. Landing this would make the task a lot less gargantuan. Should know by the end of the month.

Wouldn't it take one heck of an extension cord to reach around the entire 37-mile IOM course?
All kidding aside, that's one heck of an accomplishment!

[Buckeye56]

Nah we just tow a gasoline powered generator!

I have seen Buckeyes on the salt in 2002, during Speed Week, Very impressive group.

This is the first time the new electric motor has been powered up. Now the hard part begins! The goal is to have the bike ready to race at the 2013 Isle of Man TT.
