    Looks like it should generate a vapor trail, all right...

  4. Hmmm. I guess it really **IS** faster than a Re-Bike or a No-Com!
    Nice to get some real perspective!

    Nice to see the fabled No-Com in the same category as Re-Bike eh?

    I do not believe either bicycle has a hyphen in the name, though both
    have an internal capital letter. I suspect if one took the fairing off
    a Varna Diablo II it would still be faster than a ReBike [1] but slower
    than a NoCom.

    [1] My spell checker wants to change "ReBike" to "Rebuke" -
    hmmm...

    (Hi Earl)

    Since you mention Earl, I must take the opportunity to mention that he
    put the "T-bar" and RANS Flip-It [TM] on my red Sunset SS0003 [1],
    which I find preferable to the stock "C" bars that came on most
    Sunsets. [2]

    [1] For the previous owner. [3]
    [2] However, orange SS0001 had a fixed T-bar arrangement at CABDA 2000
    where I first rode a Sunset.
    [3] Light Purple SS0006 has the stock "C-bar".

    And the unofficial record for the fastest *crash* in an HPV:
    http://www.ohpv.org/albums/bm2003/atspeed/photos/photo_10.html

    Fastest /unpaced/ crash. In 1952, one Jose Meiffert, trying to increase his
    record of 109.1 mph on a dilapidated track crashed at almost 90 mph,
    tumbling and skidding for over 115 metres and coming to rest "a quivering
    mass of flesh". He survived the five fractures in his skull and what must
    have been a very severe case of gravel rash by recuperating for 10 years in
    a Trappist Monastery. He resumed his record breaking career in 1962 riding
    behind a Mercedes-Benz race car to attain 127.243 mph on an upright bike
    equiped with a 225 inch gear. In his pocket he carried the following note:
    "In case of fatal accident, I beg of the spectators not to feel sorry for
    me. I am a poor man, an orphan since the age of eleven, and I have suffered
    much. Death holds no terror for me. This record attempt is my way of
    expressing myself. If the doctor's can do no more for me, please bury me by
    the side of the road where I have fallen."

    (Hi Earl)


    [...]

    If you have a name like Earl, you do not need any other names.

    Your banter with this moron was the low point of ARBR. "Hi Earl" indeed! We
    do not want that imbecile back here with his one liner remarks about going
    fast on his stupid bike. It must have been your good deed for the day to
    humor him, but the rest of the group had to suffer as a result. Try not to
    be such an idiot yourself, why don't you?

    Ahhh, another of eddieboy's most brilliant comments., It sure lays
    waste to his usually self-aggrandizement.

    This is how Sherman got be the most prolific poster to ARBR, until I knocked
    him off his pedestal. But I am not guilty of these cheap one liners. I am
    prolix if nothing else. Any message of mine will invariably consist of at
    least one well developed paragraph that others can read with enjoyment and
    enlightenment. One liners are ever the hallmark of imbeciles.

    Here is a bike; the "Naked Diablo" [1], that Sam Whittingham built that
    duplicates the riding position of the Varna Diablo. I would be
    extremely surprised if the "Naked Diablo" was faster than the Velokraft
    NoCom.
