It's an evolving thing. The bike is going to finish the season being raced for me by Jeff Dixon, and we're fully sponsored by Bartels. Higbee sent us spare bodywork so now all the Bartels road race bikes look the same. Note: you CAN crash an XB without frame sliders! (you can still see the blue from my Arai helmet crushed into the left side case. We're leaving it on for luck)   | ||

Heck - I'll probably start posting race reports and everything here! | ||
| Slaughter |
We did take off the Dunlop stickers and put on Pirelli. | ||

What is the red bike behind the XB's ? (818?) Looks very intriguing  | ||

Does anyone know who makes that race fairing? ive been looking online and sofar ive come up with absolutely nothing. | ||
| 99buellx1 |
www.halspa.com for the fairing. Why arent you gonna ride it for the remainder of the season? | ||
| Slaughter |
I've got a Hals set of bodywork on the bike. That 818 is Patrick McGinley's S1 racebike with a VR1000 upper fairing (good eye, hope you didn't think we had a VR in the pits!) | ||
| Blake |
Wooohooo! Looking great Slaughter!  | ||

I'll tell ya what . . that's the first time I've seen Hal's Race website. That's awesome! Well done. . . | ||
| Jima4media |
Hal's race website has been up since 2001. Where have you been Court? | ||

Steve- I dunno if I can quite handle "Lavin-Yurassov" and "official" in the same THREAD - let alone the same sentence... The bike does look dandy, though. Do you have any sponsorship lined up for when you get back in the saddle? -Saro | ||
| Slaughter |
Saro, The sponsorship deal holds when I get back into the saddle... kinda kewl. Bill Bartels will still maintain the bike. Might even keep paying tires and fees... we'll see. (Message edited by slaughter on April 01, 2006) | ||

Don't forget that one of the board sponsors: racingmotorcycles.com also sells race plastic. | ||

That 818 is Patrick McGinley's S1 racebike with a VR1000 upper fairing (good eye, hope you didn't think we had a VR in the pits!) I was wondering that very thing, and how much it was going to cost me | ||
| Blake |
Racingmotorcycles.com is not a board sponsor. | ||
| Diablobrian |
oops, just trying to help, I thought they were. | ||
| Slaughter |
I spent some time talking with Jeff Ecklund about the VR1000 and how it handled and its brakes. Coulda been something if HD would have committed... but alas... | ||
| Matty |
To pick nits, 818 is an M2 with Airtech bodywork.  | ||
| Slaughter |
M2! gotchya. (y'know all them tubers look alike) Fer sure it aint a VR though! Looks like top end work won't be done in time for the next race weekend, Dixon will ride the big Bartels bike to keep on the points chase. (Message edited by slaughter on April 08, 2006) | ||

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST! I just picked up the COOLEST Sponsor! Sandra Lara - the cartoonist that did my old Muell racing logo I ran in Novice  She does art/graphic work for a living and we're gonna trade PR work for each other. She does some really awesome comics which are sportbike based at http://www.madgirlcomix.com/CrashGirlcomix.html She cut us a bunch of slack designing our cornerworkers fundraising t-shirts here for Willow Springs:  Don't forget her comics:  (Message edited by slaughter on April 08, 2006) | ||
