Just some vid on my 300

One of our few high speed roads here in Albuquerque. Too bad I was with the local vintage cafe group..... It's 9 miles of great sweepers. I'll try and get some vid when the road is clear and I don't have square tires.

Amazing roads. There's nothing like that near me.

I can't tell for sure because cameras often make it hard to judge angles and speed, but I'm pretty sure I could ride those roads in 6th gear, WOT, without letting off on my 250. The corners look like they have high visibility, the road surface looks clean and the curves look consistent without mid-corner changes of angle.

The road surface near me can vary in quality quite drastically. There's lots of concealed junctions. Visibility is often low due to thin roads with high hedges. There are also many corners which suddenly tighten. I really enjoy the constant changes in speed required to safely ride the roads over here though. Shifting constantly, braking hard and accelerating hard is fun! You can also accelerate WOT out of most corners; especially on my 250!

Yes, it's a pretty high speed road, it's been known for it's "fun factor" for many decades. The only downside, is it's at around 7000ft. So subtract about 25% of your HP.

25%... literally?

I'm guessing the loss of HP is because there is less oxygen per square cm.

Does this also mean that typically a bike will run rich at those altitudes?

Is there a mechanical thing that someone could do to force more air into the engine or somehow create a higher pressure inside the engine in order to retain HP?

Yes literally! As the air pressure drops so does the filling capacity of the motor. Yes things richen up the higher you go. That's why I have another thread on a power commander, the stock FI doesn't have enough compensation range for this altitude, and getting a ton of soot in the pipe.

And that's what turbo's and blowers do, pack in more air, like the H2R, they have a supercharger.
