Big D Cycle Blog

Started up the new Bonneville LSR bike up today. Uploaded some video footage of it running. The crew will be loading up the bike and heading for the salt next Wednesday. Shooting for 151MPH to take the class record home.

This is the newest bike in the Big D racing fleet. It is going to be a 750cc motor in a T-120 frame. It is being purpose built to compete in the Euro American Twins and novice GP classes at Mid-Ohio this year. It will also qualify for the BEARS class in AHRMA, as well as clubman in the CMRA. Jerrett Martin will be riding the bike. Keith has put a lot of time and thought into the setup of the bike, and its been tricked out all the way. One of the coolest things about it, is that the motor will be left hand shift. So, the rear drum has had the sprocket teeth machined off, and the brake has been located to the right side. A dirt track quick change rear wheel setup has been used, for easy gearing changes. This bike is a collaboration of Big D fabricated parts, and left over spares from the Les edwards collection we recently acquired. It also has a hand made aluminum catch pan that is really neat, although it is not pictured mounted on the bike. We will keep posting photos of the progress.

Ryan got his photo published in this month’s inside line.
