Introduce Yourself

[jacksoni]

. . .we are looking at aero . . .

Biggest thing you can do is lengthen the foot well (easier with your rear engine) to allow an extreme laydown position getting the driver's head as low as possible, just peeking out over the hood. Some recently built roadsters are good examples of this.

And remove the windshield along with..... Lot of frontal area reduction.

A half bubble windshield with the trailing edges parallel to windflow and the top just above the rider's helmet, as opposed to no windscreen, is a big help for bikes.  Could that type of shield be used on a roadster?

Hello my name is Brett I have crewed on a couple of salt card over the years and I am now building my own lakester running Honda K series power plants trying out F and G class

[FreakhouseCustoms]

Hello all,

How am I just now realizing there's an "Introduce Yourself" thread 

I've been racing The Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials since 2014 and I really love the friendship & camaraderie in the Land Speed Racing Community.   I put together a bike in 2016 to chase the AMA 1350-P-PC record, then built a bike in 2017 for the AMA 1350-A-CF record.  And then spent the last 2 years (2018/2019) chasing the AMA 3000-A-CF record on a dual-engine Suzuki.

I'm getting ready to start building my bike for BMST 2021, another dual-engine bike, but this time using (2) Yamaha FJ1200's.  I'll be starting a Build Thread for that, but I'll be video-documenting the whole build over on my YouTube channel, starting January 4th, 2021.

"Give it a view . . ."

I tried.  I don't think FaceBook likes me.

Tell us where you're from.

Stan, try it again, it is a utube link not Farce Book....

Welcome Fran... get a diary going, we will be watching... maybe even Stan if he flogs his squirrels enough 

[FreakhouseCustoms]

HAHA!  Yes, what Stainless said... it's supposed to send you to the YouTubeZ... please let me know if it's not working correctly.


I'm from Castle Rock, CO - about 30 minutes South of Denver. 
The backroads out this way make for some scenic test rides.

[Stan Back]

Whatever it is, it don't work here.  Neither do I.  Neat-looking bike!

Hello there. My name is Chris. I am a photographer

[Bugeye001]

Hello! I am currently working at a shop and we are working on trying to get a Bugeye Sprite to set a record in the Classic category and I engine size. Excited to have found the forum.

[jacksoni]

Welcome Bugeye. Looking forward to some build details. Unfortunately, the Bugeye is a sports car and therefore not legal in Classic which is for coupes/sedans/4 seats. You will be in /GT . You might want to check out the very large build thread for Milwaukee Midget. Good luck and have fun.

[Stainless1]

Bugeye, I think the last time a Bugeye Sprite held the I/GT record was 1978... I think at about 97-98 MPH. 
As we always tell everyone, get a rulebook, read it several times before you start... welcome to the fray.... start a build diary, we can help...
Here's a couple of pics of the last one to hold the record 

[Stan Back]

Look closely and you'll see Stainless's pictures are from differing years.  Check the roll bars ? neither of which will cut the mustard today.  Get a Rule Book before you do anything else (is that an echo?).
