Don't hold up the Harley Train!

Like most bikes that run on a track, it's been modified.
Looks like a Dyna low rider S with updated suspension and exhaust, seat I'm sure a lot more.
It's not easy to ride fast on a pig. And even then, the pig blows a gasket. Lol.

Yeah, aftermarket and probably improperly installed. Guy was killing it up until that point.

You think he had a bad day at the track? Take a look at this guy.

Wow, I'm impressed the bike managed to vomit on it's own windshield at 190 mph. I wouldn't think that was possible.
That was a damn fast bike.

One of the regulars at TMP tracks a cruiser (with soft bags on), that terrorizes some of the green and yellow group riders lol

Why does that happen, just when it's getting interesting?

Guy is a local and friend of one of my sponsors. To compound the blown engine, the bike fell over in the trailer on the way home.

If it's the same guy I'm thinking of, I've been on the track with him when I was beginning. The only reason why it "terrorized" me was because it was just as fast as my 600 on the straights but around a corner it's a giant pylon. Pretty sure I broke some rules getting by him on the brakes there when I was in green.

its gotta be the same guy, I doubt there is more than one of them lol
I'm always amazed at how wind moves around vehicles. On my VTX after I put my taller windshield on this spring I was still a little perturbed that I was still getting a lot of wind in my face...until I realized it was actually coming up from around my feet and legs and whipping up past the tank into the void made by my batwing and windshield.
On my tractor at work, at 100KPH, anything light that goes out the window actually goes FORWARD out to around the edge of the hood, then goes down by the front wheel, and then whips back up along the ground and then up again when it reaches the trailer.
My current understanding is that there are no rules or levels for green group. They mix seasoned racers with rank novices, who may never have ridden before. Is that wrong?

What group this is in is essentially beside the point, it doesn't matter what the rules are, much of that footage shows poor track riding lines.
Fwiw, nope, the green group is for novices and it has the most rules and restrictions. And the whole point in a track day having three or four different riding groups is to separate the novice riders from experience riders.
And this video isn't green group novices, it's B group as labelled on the video (aka yellow), consisting of medium speed and skill riders. If someone thinks this video shows novice group track riders, they are being very very generous in their assumptions of rider skill out there.
