Here is Reg's interview about the Bonneville Blast from the Quail Motorcycle Gathering in American Rider 360 http://www.americanrider.com/index.cfm?vid=1515. | ||

A 750 Blast- the mind boggles.  | ||

COOL bike.Would a bike like that be fun on the street? Or does the gearing required make it dedicated to the salt? If you're ever out in Boston again  | ||

Very cool bike! Hey Terry, any pictures of that blast with the body work off? i'd love to see whats going on under there! | ||
| Ezblast |
lol   Terry Rocks and is a hero of mine! Go Terry! EZ | ||

Greg it is geared too and has uses .735 lift cams which is a lot more than you could run on the street. But that does not mean we could not build anything from a bolt-on 515 cc Kit, to a short stroke 600 cc or a long stroke 644 - 730 with shorter cams. I still desire to build a 3.875 by 3.626 for a 700 cc "Street Tracker," with a red line of some where around 8K RPM and serious horsepower numbers, sound like fun anyone?

Front brakes are for wimps. | ||

>>>>Front brakes are for wimps. What would you do with it if you had it at Bonneville? My favorite Bonneville "stunt" . . . . which the USFRA didn't think as funny as I did. . . was to get in the Lincoln Continental "Rent-A-Barge" . . . .close my eyes, floor it and count to 100. Think of it as the top of a pool table about 50 miles long . . . . as long as you are pointed in roughly the right direction there's not a whole lot to hit. | ||

Me and the Muelly will be heading to the salt this September too. | ||

Cool,look for Terry and I at ubs with a bunch of Aussies and Kiwis. And some real fast turbo bikes. Looking for 230+ on the 750's and I am going to run the bike naked--see what 200+ with no bodywork feels like!! | ||

My Blast just told me it wants to be just like that when it grows up | ||
| Firemanjim |
Fast,we can do that for you. Brad and Court,just wish the S-2 was farther along,I am itching to get that beast done. But cannot turn down an opportunity to take a ride at these speeds. Want to be really used to it when my bike goes faster. | ||

Sweet i just found this thread. these guys are number 1 in my book. I would love to come out and see you guys run at the salt flats. I want to hear the bike jim is going to be riding. I have been watching it slowly form and it would be really great to be able to say i was there and saw it run. | ||

Good luck and have fun Jim! | ||

so for someone that lives in florida how much cleaning would have to take place before i could bring the machine back to florida and not have it eating by the salt? | ||
| Smoke |
GIVE IT HELL!!!! tim | ||
| Fast1075 |
I would suspect it would need a very good cleaning...it looks like everything gets a good coating of salt at Bonneville. If you are talking about getting salted in Florida...just don't ride on the beach.. Firemanjim...the only things between me and a killer Blast are a recovering economy and who can build that stroker crank...I have a bunch of spare engine parts to play with. | ||
| Firemanjim |
We use liberal doses of Saltaway(Team Elves sponsor) before and after. Truck has been there multiple times with no noticeable salt corrosion. | ||
| Ezblast |
Rock and roll! Best of luck on the salt! EZ | ||
| Bluzm2 |
Jim, You beat me to the punch. I used Saltaway on my bike and didn't have any problems. The trailer on the other hand.... yikes! I didn't wash it good enough underneath when I left the flats, I figured the rain and such on the way home would suffice. Wrong! Holy Crap! Talk about rust... Thanks God for 3M and rust stop coatings. |
