Any word yet on this engine? That's pretty messed up if there is a thief amongst everyone at the track.

There were a Lot of cameras at the track and only a few people
have put up any pics. and what about all those GoPros and video cams?
Please up some pics if you took themI have a few more to go.
thanks
This was my first MB race, and entered on a stock beach cruiser. very fun, and glad to be a part of the pistonbikes crew. I had a blast meeting everyone out there. such a cool gang of folks. (I cant legally make a public post of this video, but I can post a hint of how to see it in my private gallery; wink wink) . and yes, even some bad camera work and a mini tantrum by me. all in fun, and truly no hard feelings to the hells sliders! lol. cant wait to try a race on a real bike! sign me up, Baird!

I liked it too...the best part was "who let the 10 year old on the track...he was in my line"
That was the ICEMAN... It's racing...he was not going to let you pass.
You did well on the track...your bike was fast.

We do. Functional pedals are a main requirement. These are bicycles! You have made a motorcycle

You hit it on the head!!!!! Maybe we should require the racers to complete one lap of the track on pedal power to be qualified to race!!!!
That would be cool!!! I've also noticed some of these guys claiming close to 20HP, yet they have to yank on the bars to pop a little wheelie!!! It looks kinda funny when they do that, ha ha!!!

Jake, perhaps you didn't notice........my motorcycle DOES pedal! I was just joking as that is what I use my pedals for on this bike.
That's funny Bigboy......my bike will pedal around that track as fast as your's no prob. Another funny thing is my bike is nowhere near 20hp but can loop you with the blip of the throttle. Why don't you take it for a spin at the next race?

Hey Scotto, Ha Ha!!!! I wasn't even referring to you, so save it!Jake, perhaps you didn't notice........my motorcycle DOES pedal! I was just joking as that is what I use my pedals for on this bike.

Any way, some of the bikes you big displacement class guys build have pedals that really aren't (you guys know who you are).
I think this is all for fun, any way, so that's why I don't get my undies in a bunch over any of it.
Another thing, and this is for you, Scotto. Our bikes weigh 150# dry. We bring them down here to have fun with you guys, and that's the way it should be.
Both Roland and I are building actual race bikes, for ****s and giggles, that are more comparable in weight to the rest of you. Because I don't have binocular vision, and am near sighted also, I'm sticking with the 49cc class putt potting around (loudly!!)
