You're right, Bill. But even if I had that kind of power, we don't have
that kind of traction.

Subject: RE: MC Chain
Dale, I suspect the rear fork might start to give way before
you got to
8800 lbs of chain pull! It would take an almighty violent
abusive
clutch start to get that much snatch on it. Seriously, the
pull on the
chain can be computed pretty easily by factoring the torque
in the
gearbox output shaft and the size of the sprocket on it.
Anybody want
to try that? I got into it many years ago and sent in an
article to Bob
Greene when he was editor of Motorcyclist for a while. He
said it was
nice, but 'too deep' for his mag. Bill
