Title: co-rider sought, have bike
Post by: jim reed on April 30, 2016, 11:40:18 AM

I live outside Vero Beach, FL. From here to Wendover it is 41 hrs. Essentially four 10 hr days to get there. As such I am looking for someone here in Fl to team up with to share the driving and riding at Bonneville. I will provide the box trailer, bike, tools & equip, and spares. You provide the tow vehicle. You pay your entry. We share gas and lodging. The bike is a Can Am 250 cc single cylinder water cooled, rotary valve, six speed set up for M-250 Classic Gas and Fuel and MP S 250 Classic Gas and Fuel. I have been involved in motorcycle, kart and car racing since 1967. 1967 to 1996 road racing,1996-2004 Land Speed with ECTA. Stopped ECTA when they moved to Ohio.The engine in the bike is the same as the one in my laydown unlimited 1 & 2 kart I race with WKA. It has won Daytona 9 times and achieved a top speed of 145mph at Daytona. More info can found on my web site: reedspeedcaferacers.com., click on the manufacturers icons to see pictures of my other bikes. You can email me at reedspeed1@aol.com or call me at 772-468-2144.

This effort is exploratory to see if all the time and trouble to run at Bonneville is worth it, hence the simple single cylinder bike. If I like Bonneville plans are for a 200+ mph attempt with a 1000cc 2-stroke which I will share with my co-rider.

Marty,

Thanks for the offer. I'm looking for someone who lives in Florida full time and who has a transport vehicle they don't mind taking to the salt.
