Post Your Race/Track bike Pics!

Taken in Finland on the Kemora track earlier this year.







Bike wasn't very finished back then and now it's in bits for winter upgrades.

This was my GPz900R powered speedway rig, earlier on I had Z900 and GS1000 powered chairs, but they died.......


Did a few race track laps on the old CBR in road configuration and it went surprisingly well

At the risk of sounding a bit naive... What is going on in this picture?

Bike porn!

This pretty much sums it up, 130+HP, no brakes and a concrete wall.....

It's gotta be side car racing on a short oval dirt track. But why ain't the side car on the inside?

You must have forgotten they are at the bottom of the globe. Everything is backwards and upside down there.

Seriously, sidehacks have the weight to the outside to keep the bike planted. If it was inside the bike wouldn't turn.

Because Australia & New Zealand drive on the left, sidecars are on the left of the bike here.
When sidecar speedway started this meant we went clockwise although all the other speedway classes go anticlockwise...And, yes, sidecar racers are "different"
I believe it's even more confusing in the UK - the thousands go clockwise but there's a 500 class which goes anticlock...

I've had a number of local sidecar guys as engine customers over the years and I've determinedly resisted all invitations to have a ride...

Heres a pic of my GS1000 (1260cc) dragbike. I was ranked #3 nationally with IDBA in Super Comp...8:60 index. If you look closely you can see the fuel (it's blue) in the carb bowls, is vertical......60 foot times probably average around 1.27 seconds....Bike ran a best of 8.20 seconds at 158.85 MPH at Gainesville, my home track.....1/8th mile time on that pass was 5.14 seconds...Nothing like early morning air and a good tail wind....The pic was taken at Atco New Jersey at one of the national events

Same bike a couple years earlier, ridden on the street and raced every weekend. Fastest "L" model you will probably ever see

Hahaha, the picture doesn't really do me justice but yeah, I'm a big guy.

Ride it, race it

Hey BadBillyB,
I like your ride it, race it days. I was doing the same thing in the early 90's but with a Chevy Monza.
I only had to ask for a ride home once.

Thats why I used the shop van to tote the bike to the track, and carried the tow truck guys phone number with me....Drag racing is hard on stuff... I could swap out the rear tire and set up the wheelie bar in advance at my shop. That way when we show up at the track late, which we always did (because of work), we could get right to it....I bought this bike brand new from the local Suzuki dealer in 1980, just moments before the 4 valve 1100's came out. Me and the wife rode it on our 3 day honeymoon around the perimeter of Florida.....A few years later, it was a national contender in AMA Dragbike and set a couple national records......It's last race was in 1991.....Heres a pic when it was brand new in 1980....Billy
