One down. Three to go with @meadsspeedti
Pre weld // Titanium chambers for the Yamaha RZV500R. This should use a good chunk of Earth’s supply of Argon.
Dueling 68’s // With @motrizzle on board the @kramermotorcyclesusa HKR-EVO 2.
Always a good time at a @classictrackday event! 🏁
Organised Chaos from @meadsspeedti !
As with all 2 strokes, getting the maximum out of the Yamaha RZV500R isn’t just about the engine work- designing a tuned set of custom pipes to take full advantage of the new motor’s potential is critical.
Some of the behind the scenes work on the Yamaha RZV500R swingarm. Few more pieces to fab up with @makrshaker and it’ll be ready for welding.
Lots of things happening these days (both inside and outside of the shop) But while progress on the RZV500R continues behind the scenes, I thought I’d take the opportunity to build a tribute to Neil Hodgson’s historic 996RS with some cool old school parts.
My competitive “pit crew” showing their support.
Flashback to the photo shoot with @themightymotor and the recently completed Ducati SuperStrada 1100.
Piece by Piece. Yamaha RZV500R.
I’ve always said that pure luck doesn’t exist. Rather it’s a combination of opportunity and preparedness meeting.
It’s taken awhile to get each of these components with everything going on in the world, but wow, it’s worth it.
A couple of frame grabs from the video project with @chrisbottoms. Really looking forward to this.
Mega thanks to @willow_springs_raceway @rammingspeed_racing and @chrisbottoms for the rare opportunity to spend the day spinning laps for the camera on some of my favorite builds at “the fastest road in the west”. It was a fantastic day with perfect weather, a killer crew and @motrizzle and @comandante_parra. Looking forward to the finished piece!
Back on track! As the world begins to spin again I grabbed the Kramer @kramermotorcyclesusa to spin a few laps with friends @letsridetrackdays. Love this machine!
Here we go :: Ducati 748 Biposto soon to be a significantly upgraded track bike. But we’ll be following the rulebook to stay within racing regulations (just in case 😉) .
Prepping a few bikes for a test and tune track day this upcoming weekend, at last.
A welcome visit today with some good friends.
The Suzuki GSX-R750’s are getting restless. Fortunately, trackdays are around the corner. 🏁🏁 Error: Cannot add access token directly to the shortcode.

These titanium sections comprise the exhaust chambers on the RZV500R.

So, with the new design in hand (and a duplicate bike to test fitment), titanium master @Meadsspeedti has begun and cut the patterns on the bespoke titanium chambers.

Dymag wheels and Nitron forks fitted up with the custom triple and brakes. It’s not a roller yet...more of a wheelbarrow, but more good stuff is in the works.

However, when @motrizzle and @motorcycle_com asked me to stand in for a day of shooting with the new Ducati Superleggera that was just straight up pure luck!
Huge thanks to those guys and @phil_readjr for the opportunity to ride as close to a MotoGP bike as possible. 234hp/330lbs.

Don’t worry the Superstrada and the Desmosedici strictly adhered to the social distancing guidelines.
