Spectacular BMW F800GS Racebike.

The TriBSA Vintage Motocrosser

Built by Gene and Ron Atherton.

It is a 83 Honda VT500 Ascot. It was our ice bike, before that Gene tried to dirt track it but it didn't work out. We built it during the winter of 09. Gets road most ever day in the summer.

Thanks
Ron

Ex Barry sheen Racer 1980 Yamaha Yamaha TZ 500 on E-bay. If I had $60,000 I'd buy this bike.

Ex Barry Sheen Racebike now on E-bay.  And I believe the subject of the very first post on this very blog.

Update:  Just got a note from an ADV rider poster who wrote in.

Loadedagain of advrider here... I see you've got Tom Mellors silver bullet posted today. Just an FYI... He's got a 1000cc engine in it now. it ran in 2010 as a 1000cc bike....Ii was at his place a couple weekends ago... the crazy dude is going for 200mph in 2011! My bet is he'll make it.
Cheers, Colin

I bet he does too.  Thanks Colin!

I lifted this verbatim off of an ADV rider thread.  Just too cool

750MPS-PG class (750cc Modified Production pushrod, pump fuel [gas], partially streamlined — the front wheel must be visible for 180 degrees below the axle), 180.317mph


750MP-PG class (750cc Modified Production pushrod, pump fuel, with no bodywork, but with the rear fairing left on since it counts as being the seat), 159.905mph


Unbelievable numbers for a pushrod 750 on gasoline (remember Bonneville is a little over 4,300' in elevation). Tom put a lot of people on the trailer with those numbers. Gorgeous bike!

Fantastic Historical Boardtrack Photos

From a REALLY cool site with historical images of all kinds called SHORPY.COM The Caption reads "Fred "Freddy" Fretwell of Washington on a Harley-Davidson"

Fair warning. Don't go over there unless you have some time to kill. It's addictive.

Here's a great grandstand shot (of a car race obviously) to give you an idea of the scale of the the track sizes. Pretty amazing. Must have been quite a spectacle for it's time.
