Introduce Yourself

[Avanti Kid]

Hi David in Durango, yes both my brothers, Al Bloomberg & Barry Bloomberg each had their Pantera's at that 2 1/2  mile concourse race track in Pahrump, NV.  They had fun racing with folks that day.  What a small world, thanks for welcoming me to this Web site, take care, Dave Bloomberg

Hi, Im Mike from Germany. I hope to get some tips and tricks here on this side to become faster.
Im riding a Hayabusa Turbo. Normally at dragraces but I like to ride very fast, too and so I rode my
first LSR milerace in England and was infected.
Sadly there are no official Highspeedraces here in Germany and of course
no salt (only in the supermarket ). Therefore it is not easy for my to get good information.

Best regards, Mikey

Welcome Mikey, always good to have another Busa rider here. I think I have seen you on SH.org. Hang around here much and you could get infected with Salt fever. Th only known cure is Bonneville.

Hi John.
You was at Hockenheim with the Wössner guy, right?
I was slow on the uptake that day and checked later that you were "The John"

Hello my name is John and I come from Denmark. I'm 48 years old mechanic. Married to Ann and we have two children. My first visit to Salt flats was this summer and it was a fantastic experience.. My interessse old Harley Davidson motorcycle and that is why I have joined me on this forum, because I hope to meet some nice people who can help me and my brother in law whit our project. We started to build an old Knucklehead from 1941, which is scheduled to run on salt in 2012. we hope to find something / learn / talk about classes rules stuff like that, so we can get to Wendover with the right motorcycle ......
Salt greetings John ....

Welcome aboard P46. You have good taste in bikes. My father in law had one of those (1941 HD)and he says that it was one of the best bikes he ever had. Actually, he wants to build another one. You like most of the guy's here. Just ignore the ones you don't.

I have been a member of this forum and appreciate everything each racers does (i am a wanna be at best).  up til now i have raced drag bikes (local nhra sanctioned 1/4 mile tracks), the latest bike is a gs based conversion chassis, 1428 cc, 13.5 : 1 comp.  it covers the 1/4 in 8.90 or better at about 150 on the throttle stop).  i have a beat up old sportster that i am pondering converting to a bonneville racer but have more questions than answers right now.  i need to order a rule book and will get that done soon.  i have access to an aftermarket chrome moly chassis and most bits and pieces to put the bike together.  my one big question is about sprockets.  i gear the suz for the 1/4 and understand what gearing will be needed on the HD but wouls like to ask if there is any loss or gain by using a larger or smaller diameter set of sprockets with the same ratio? (i.e. a 15 tooth front and a 45 rear equals a 3.0 to 1 ratio as does a 16/48 set but the 16/48 is marginally larger).  does one or the other have an advantage over the other (outside of more/less chain length)?

[wobblywalrus]

The combination with the 16 tooth front might give you longer chain life.
