Various flyreels were tested by motorcyle with interesting results.
Very creative, had to share.

Interesting way to test fly reels!

I never thought I'd see an Orvis Vortex "burn up" (the Orvis Battenkill did perform flawlessly).

I've got a couple reels I need to do my own test on now...

Maybe set the drag at a specific pound setting (say 75% of tippet strength) and see what happens after 150 yards of backing is ripped off at 25 mph!

Jeez, you got me all excited. I guess this isn't what you were refering to, fly reels and motorcycles.
