The office I work out of is a converted factory in urban NJ. I'm on the 2nd floor, looking across the street at a small motorcycle shop that appears top specialize in Harleys. On the average day there are usually anywhere from 3 - 10 fully dressed Harleys sitting in the parking lot 
for work, and all day they seem to be doing dyno pulls on a motorcycle "chassis" dyno.... funny thing is... .a dyno pull on a Harley seems to last no more than about 2 seconds, and doesn't seem to generate a whole lot of RPM. I guess I need to wander across the street and see what they are doing.
In the showroom they have a drag car built on a 1970s (??) Opel chassis..... it was sort of a mini version of the Corvette Sting Ray design. Car has a huge big block in it. There are also used Harleys in the showroom, with prices up to $50,000!!!! Then there's a guy that pulls up on nice day in what looks like a 30's Willys coupe, with a huge bugcatcher sticking out of the hood, a chute on the back, and humungous slicks. Since its an "antique", its got "QQ" antique plates on it, and is exempt form emissions, and apparently any other form of regulation..... maybe that's the way to beat the emissions issues
I've been with this company for over a year, but most of my time was spent in construction jobsites, and not much in the office.... so I never noticed the huge amount of activity at the motorcycle shop.
