The Harley V-Glide Custom V-Rod Hit The Drag Strip, and It Totally Rips

Guys, I say this with all the possible love in my heart, but what you're about to watch is probably the most ADHD motorcycle drag racing video ever. To be clear, that's by no means a bad thing. Honestly, I think that makes it incredibly relatable. If you've ever spent time at a track and felt the energy, you know what I mean.

The machines racing may not be electric, but level of excitement definitely feels that way. It's almost total sensory overwhelm, too; all the sights, sounds, smells, and anticipation of what's to come will flood over and through you at a moment's notice. This video, I must say, captures it incredibly well. 

Here, you'll see Craig from the Bearded Mechanic show up with his buddy Sean to try the build-off Harley V-Rod's luck on the eighth mile drag strip. The rules say that pretty regular street gear is acceptable for a run if the speed is under 100 mph, so Craig's gear fits the bill. Full-face helmet, jacket, boots, and gloves. If you're going over 100 mph, though, you'll need full race leathers.
