With a 12R22.5 tire that's 44" tall he would be running nearly 3000 RPM. Well past the governor limit.

And if he had 11R22.5 tires RPM would be even higher.

But ole Deeetroit Williams turned it up for him!

First concern other people, second concern, that poor BB last concern,

I have deleted the personal criticism comments towards this member and deleted a few posts form this thread.
But there appears to be value in the thread content.

To be truthful I could not continue watching the video. I was concerned for my safety and mental health.

Heck I'm ready to upgrade after seeing that

I'm with Bill..no need for insults...education is better. We were all young and full of it at one time. A few folks commented on FB and his response was in case of trouble..like a blow out...He would put down the phone and drive the bus...HA! Good luck! Somewhere recently....I saw pictures of a blow out in WB/PT , but cant find it again. It appeared he was lucky to have the wall to help control the situation.
Those speeds...mountains....vintage equipment is asking for a bad outcome in case of trouble......hopefully some innocent family doesn't help share his debt.

I just want to see the 104mph video. I would pay for that, on a closed road in Mexico, of course.

I just came thru West Virginia last week. Anyone notice the yellow directional signs on the side of the road ? They put those on downhil grades so you know which way the road turns when you are traveling at night! They don’t put them on uphill climbs! JMHO .
