I know what he's doing...working on the bike...even during his nap. | ||

Damn....PRIZE goes to the first lady to step up and shoot! | ||

A nap sounds good, but I took the bike down to a sponsor's shop to show it off ...  Mark Souter and Leonard Havens, two outstanding mechanics. They'll be joining us at Bonneville. Picked up the Blast while I was there, they've had it on display in their showroom. Time to see if I can't find a little more in it. | ||

Blake I think you may have missed something on Ray's Sidecar. The so called deflector is not an appendage like the barn door on an outlaw sprinter, but merely the kneeling area of the platform mandated by the rules. We feel the angle of attack of the platform should be slightly down, as neutral might get some air under and up would fly the car even with ballast. What we were looking for was a rough idea of where to make the initial adjustment to give some down force, minimal drag, as well as reasonable extra weight. (ballast) As for the wheel, we looked for a narrower wheel and tire which was speed rated, or at least DOT approved. I dont think bicycle meets the criteria. We went with the Cushman wheel we had. I would welcome any suggestions that maycome up, but we are nearing deadline. I hope this clears up some of the questions. Thanks Dick Aaron Richard's ride looks awesome! I hope to be at the salt to see it top 200. By the way thanks so much for your help on Ray's Blast. It would never have happened without you. Dick | ||

I am still here at work myself...we are testing a new fuel injection system. If it works as well as it is claimed, Aaron may have a bit more work to do... | ||
| Pammy |
...at least for the blast,or the M2 | ||

Pammy: Working? On a beautiful day like today? A perfect day for riding? (smiley face) Capt. Pete | ||
| Pammy |
O.K. that was my plan...I will ride a bit this evening...gotta wait for cooler air you know? | ||
| Loki |
Aaron, too bad somebody took the "ride it like you stole it" slogan a little to seriously. As my M2 is on the post office walls. Yet to every cloud there really is a silver lining.... Just waiting to pick up my new ride.....a couple more days and I be riding a 97 S1. Pammy, working on saturday means one must take at least some of sunday off.... All, being as since I am about to take a dip into the "butt floss" years....Anyone have the S1 CD, that I could borrow? just for a short bit of time. | ||
| Road_Thing |
Loki: Send me your address and I'll burn one for you and mail it you...somebody from this board did that for me a couple of years back, now I can pass it on! r-t | ||
| Pammy |
I just got back from a moonlight ride(sans moon). I'll be doing some more break in miles tomorrow on someone elses bike(an S1). Then some more fuel injection work. Mowing the grass has to happen some time tomorrow as well. | ||
| Loki |
r-t pinged you with some info Loki | ||
| Aaron |
Hey Ray, here's a sidecar for you ...  | ||
| Nykk |
I'm planning to go to see the LSR. I live in Castro Valley, CA and will be riding my '99 M2. I don't have a route planned yet but I hope to be on I-80 as little as possible. I might get a hotel room on the cheap nites and camp the rest?? Any one else planning to leave from The Bay Area on their bike? Nykk. | ||

Aaron, & all others involved...you done good again...awesome looking bike, though at first glance one would think it's the RR all over again. Bonneville Speedweek started yesterday with the first day of runs. Man, either the salt is bad, or the bikes are...the Buell Bro's 1350 hasn't got over 131 MPH...course this is all first day runs so far. All the runs on the pushrod bikes are low speed, around131 MPH tops so far. Their are 1350 & 1650 runs that are a lot less than what we ran the 1000 cc Production Sportster last year. Anyone know of anyone out on the Salt this week. We have one fella from the XL List their, but I haven't seen where he even made a run yet. Dale A. | ||

Ok folks, all this talk has got me all jazzed up to make a trip to the "salt". What are the dates again? I tried to find them in the archives but must have missed them. Brad | ||
| Peter |
Pammy, How did that injection go? Brad, Click here. PPiA | ||
| Pammy |
It runs...It's on a new motor though so won't be giving it a REAL test for a few hundred miles. We are supposed to be putting it on Wes' TC motor already tuned to 156hp. That'll be the real test. The new motor was putting out about 90 ft lbs of tourque at 2800rpm with the new FI. If I didn't give you that little tidbit of info,that redneck from Alabama would give me Hell.(otherwise known as Wooly Wayne Taylor)he he. | ||

Aaron Do you have a very well insulated garage? or just some really cool neighbors. 'Cuss I'm guessing that you can here that SWEEEEEET bike running for at least a 1/4 mile. Jerry | ||
| Peter |
I'll bight Pammy, what is it? PPiA | ||
| Aaron |
Speeds are now posted from yesterday's passes. The pushrod bikes continue to struggle for some reason, although there are a couple good running 500cc bikes in the 113-115 range as well as a 650cc M-PF bike running in the 120's. Paul, Yankee Engineuity is apparently running a bike in 750cc M-PG with speeds under 120 so far. Jerry, fortunately I live way out in the country, I can make lots of noise. No complaints yet. | ||

Dirtsquirt, You might consider the standard cast mag wheel that Bushtec uses shown here as the powdercoated wheel option. This same wheel was used years ago by California Sidecar on its Companion model which they redesigned to serve the Harley crowd, so they no longer use this wheel. It's good looking, light & narrow.

It looks like I have a spare bed in my room at the State Line the nights of 9/20, 21 and 22. Ping me if you want to share (I'm a non-smoker, but my wife claims I snore!) r-t | ||
| Josh |
I also have a spare bed in my room 9/18-9/21. Non-smoker, no snoring  I'll also be flying in Wed and out Sunday (SLC) if anyone needs a ride. Josh | ||

Aaron, It seems to me that the speeds are not far off of last years. You do know that they are running about a mile father out than last year, don't you?? The track we were on is under water so they moved it. It will be real interesting to see how it is in September. Don and jack have decided to use gaskets after all in the S2, I hadn't realized it was up for debate. Apparently the xr's don't. Too cool learning what really goes on in a race bike engine. Paul | ||
| Pammy |
I think he(Wayne) is calling it MAD EFI. | ||
| Captpete |
Pammy: You go girl! | ||
| Peter |
Actually I meant the 90 ft lbs of tourque at 2800rpm engine. PPiA | ||
| Pammy |
oh, it's a 117" S&S(their new design) Capt Petey...I gotta take a break on the break-in. I got a little bruised in some tender places. Tomorrow, I will be back at it.(Lest I can talk Wes into doing it for me.) | ||
