Re: Speedway!
500cc, Alcohol fuel, No Brakes, No transmission, 0 to 60 in 3 seconds,
4 laps in 60 seconds!

Mr B :

"Started riding Speedway when I was 15 with an AJS 500 single,"
"I started off racing Speedway Solo at 15, Hitting the fence was a real fear, You could be killed instantly, or be in Hospital for years, with the very real possibility of never walking again. Precautions there, Dont hit the Wall"

Celestialsailor :

"These flattrakers had no brakes. We wore a steel shoe on our left foot and slid sideways around the turns. Great fun.."

Glad to see other sailors here from the dirt track oval! I raced Flat Track and Speedway here in Canada in the 80's and 90's. Mr. B had CONCRETE walls on the Australian tracks! At least our Canada tracks had thin plywood, so they would just slow you down as you went through the wall! The BEST fences was when I raced in Sweden, they had cushioned walls.

Track bikes: Honda CR125, CR250, 450, JAP, JAWA Speedway!

"Big Brute. Made by a top fuel dragster transmission builder in Canada. "

I live a couple of miles from that Big Brute shop, and the back shop was full of the three wheel transmission conversions. - Kim

Love bikes down to 3 now.
I'm part of the ABH camp. Anything but harley. I like riding not waiting for the tow truck on the side of the road. Hell I'd even ride one of those Russian Urals!

I have always loved BMW's. In a perfect world, one would have several bikes to cover all the bases. Touring, Track, Trail etc. The GS and the GS Adventure, along with the large KTM's are like the Swiss Army Knives of motorcycles! This is ripping the Tail of the Dragon in North Carolina. A month later, I was above the Arctic Circle.

I'm moving back to Australia at the end of the year and I'm dreaming of getting back on two wheels once again. Thankfully Ducati has created a new bike that I am lusting after, the Xdiavel
