It was hot at El Mirage today, when I left my truck said it was 104 degrees. Lots of cool cars and bikes as always. Here are some of the pics I took today, I hope you enjoy them!

The low red thing resembling a bike looks familiar, it's in the profile of somebody here, right?
Second photo is beautiful, but almost looks like he's riding on water. I suppose if you go fast enough it's possible ;)
Great photo's
P.S. Congrats to John on the records! That smile may be there for a few days.

Thanks for the pictures Scott, How did Randy's BMW go this time? I saw him on Thurs. and he said he found the problem :roll: We all had a laugh at his expense :lol: Did Noonan really bust 200mph with that wheel on a stick rig? Dang, talk about raise the bar!! Good Go'in John!. :-D

Hey! What do you mean "resembling a bike"? Just because it's a tad low and long, it's still a bike. Still working out the bugs. Ran 108 after discovering the starter was broken and getting it welded. Thanks Callaway!

Was his bike the red/marroon Busa?? I was trying to get a picture of it but there were a few people standing around it and I later saw it in tech.

Hey, if it's got two wheels it's a bike of some sort :-D
"a tad low," it looks to be scraping the ground!
What's the engine pushing this clever machine?
Do you have any photos of it in action? I'm not sure I'm imaginative enough to picture how one sits on it!

The engine is a Yamaha TZ250 water-cooled V-twin. "Sits" isn't the word, "lay down" is. I'll post a picture when I get a chance.

Hey Craig, The engine ran great but I was , shall we say: "overly optimistic"LOL, with my gearing set-up. I couldn't pull past 6K rpm in fourth gear with no fairing on the front. My max GPS speed was 103 with my time ticket at 102+. I am going to gear it down quite a bit and install a "poor man's "data logger". (cheap helmet cam on the A/F indicator and tach) My density altitude was over 6000 ft. and I couldn't keep up with my jetting because I couldn't see the A/F indicator.
still baby steps but, I will be ready for top speed in Bonneville!
Randy
