Maxton September.

[55chevr]

rained most of the day ... cleared up at 3 ... now it is beautiful ... a couple of interesting bikes showed plus a really sharp roadster ... I will get photos tomorrow ...

[roadracer]

From a really nice late afternoon to a morning of dense fog and light rain. Muggy doesn't describe it well enough. The forecast is good, but the radar and real life tell another story. Like I said before. It beats work.

Sharp roadster ---


there is also really nice rear engine roadster here that if it ever stops raining I will get a photo of.

[55chevr]

Randy Smith's GSXR650 ... his work is flawless ...

[55chevr]

There are at least 6 Triumphs here ...




Really nice Hayabusa ... really done well ...

[Milwaukee Midget]

Always wondered about Maxton - do they have a fuel vendor on site?  If so, what octanes are available?

hey Joe,
thanks for posting the pix, but where is the hayabusa? 

and could you ask the owner of that gsxr why he is apparently carry weight on the arm at an asphalt event?
Is there some benefit I should be thinking about?

that crossed my mind also.

maybe it's a swing arm reinforcement.
or tube without any shot or ballast.

I have never seen a landpeed front fender
like the 1 on randy smiths gsxr.

is it a new product or home built?
for all I know it could be stock.
looks good.

That is a Tiger Racing LSR fender for a Busa. I have two.

Fred, did you remove the wings on top of the fender or did you leave them on?  Congratulations on the nine records at Bonneville and fo rshowing me how I should be riding.

Karl, For a swingarm that long....he needs the weight.... 

[55chevr]

The attachments are fabricated and were filled with lead shot. They were poured in and then melted in place. The bike is really well done.

[entropy]

the arm on that gixxer looks about 2" stretched, if that.

Don't know why he'd need any weight??

Certainly not outa the hole, but maybe at the big end?
Maybe it's a Bonneville bike???

[55chevr]

Dunno about Bonneville, this is a polished bike ... but there was no bite at Maxton this weekend ... heavy damp air (95% humidity) with intemittant rain and the obiligatory track dry out ..  all the weight you could get in the right place would have helped.
