Bikes with two engines are a waste of an engine. If you need two engines to win a competition, find yourself a different competition. I look at those photos of the Hogslayer and wonder why some dick would want to do that. If I had one of those motors, I'd build a second bike. Beating a Harley cannot be that important. - All you need to do is get them onto a small road-race circuit and any Commando will make them look stupid.
Perhaps you’re not familiar with the concept of drag racing Alan?
The first point of clarification is to state that it has nothing to do with men in women’s clothes racing. I’m sure there are such disciplines thriving in various places, but that’s outside of our scope here and really should have a separate thread to be discussed further.
The second point is that it has even less to do with “small road race cuircuits”.
As a general rule, drag races are quite short affairs, the general aim being to make them as short as possible, or at least shorter than the other chap.
It might challenge your own notion of racing a little, but drag races tend to be somewhat devoid of hairpins, sweepers and chicanes... or indeed, any bends of any kind really.
Ditto the need for repeated hard braking. They brake once, after the race has finished.
If you type “drag racing” into you tube, I think you’ll see enough to get the general idea...
