The race to become the first five-second v-twin Nitro Harley racer is heating up so we wanted to check with the first msn to put a Top Fuel Harley Davidson Motorcycle in the 6-second zone, the great Bill Furr of Orangeburg Cycle in Sourh Carolina. In this video you will get an in-depth interview with Harley drag racing legend and his successful son Armon Furr, get the father-son motorcycle drag racing team’s opinion on why we have not seen a 5-second Harley yet, talk supercharged nitro Harleys vs. naturally aspirated motorcycles, get a full tour of the high performance motorcycle machine shop, go around the back of the shop and look at some of Furr’s very first drag bikes, American Pickers style, talk about racing legends and inspirations like Jim McClure and Elmer Trett, get Furr’s take on his Goodyear racing slick tire failure that caused his Harley drag bike crash, get a good look at Bill’s office and all the many photographs and poster and get a close look at some of the special custom racing parts the team makes and uses. Settle in and enjoy some nitro Harley drag racing history!

watched this and immediately had a rush of emotions from all the memories. Even though i dont get to see them often, Bill and Armon are like family to me and when they mentioned Bob (my dad) and rebuilding the engine and bike as a tribute .. i just teared up a little. I wish there was a way i could carry on his legacy with building engines. RIP Bob (Obie) (Dad) and thank you Bill and Armon for such a great trip down memory lane.

Awesome video! My parents owed the ADBA so I grew up at the tracks watching Bill race Jim. My favourite memory of Bill is in Australia at the Top Fuel World Championship. If you want to see a true legendary film, that’s one to watch! Keep up the awesome work Jack.

It's great to see Bill still has his same "no bullshit" attitude about things. Back around '95 @ New England Dragway we were at the front of the lanes for our final round and Top Fuel was running there semi's. About half-track Bill's bike started bucking him around something awful. How he hung on and saved it I'll never know? He's a bad dude.

I really enjoy these interviews. Most builders are very humble fellows with fun stories. I'm no racer, but after having Honda, Yamaha and Kawasaki, I now have my 21 year old Road King that I ride daily. I've enjoyed them all. I don't recall where I heard it, but this paraphrased quote fits. "it's loud, it's slow and it'll burn your leg, but it sure is a lot of fun."

I was racing in Sacramento with my progas back in around 98. Bill launched his Top Fuel Harley and shortly off the line his left handlebar broke off. Bill continued down the track doing something around a low 7 second pass (or even a high 6 second pass) while holding on to the left fork tube.

Met Bill at calder park in 2000 at nitro Harley world champs. After 2 qualifiers he wasnt in the field on the 3rd qualifier the left handle bsr broke bill held the left fork and ran a 6 at 180mph to make the field. He went on to win the title at the end of the 3 round series. I still have the video and spent 13 hrs photographing on the start line the day at calder. Also met Jim, Larry, Stevie etc.
