    Just got back a couple of hours ago. Had a dream Bonneville. In the 500cc sidecar pushrod gas class I was running on a pissy 98 mph record and an equally pissy 101 mph in the fuel class. The gods smiled on us and I pushed the gas record up to 119.667 mph and the fuel record up to 117.186 mph. Plus I finally got the sidecar over 125 mph with one run of 125.715 mph at the 2 1/4. And most important nothing broke!!!!. Usually I come home with a handful of parts that used to be a bike.

    A big thanks to all the SCTA officials for being there and doing a damned fine job!!

    Right after the 125+ run

    Getting ready to pull the trigger.

    One of the best views in the world.

  10. I was working on the 974 and one of the guys there said you were running right then. You guys got guts, and other large parts.

  11. Click on the a/A box in the upper right hand corner and then insert the URL (click <EMBED> Copy and Paste) it's just that simple.

    Congratulations!!! But I wish you had left the speed out. Now I feel dog slow!! Thats more than moving for a roadster (rear engined or not).
     
  15. Don't feel slow, we all know how hard it is to reach a record in class. Our E/PP record was bumped to 127 by someone else now we have to work a little harder. You did very well for yourself. ;)
     
  16. Thanks for the video Tim...............
     
  17. No problem Carl! Now that Bonneville is past it's time to dust off the FED and get ready for Eagle Field. See ya there. ;)
