The quest for speed is a haunting challenge. We have been slowly creeping up on our Buell race bike build but are stuck in limbo with the quest for parts. It is so damn inspiring to see other builds that are being made for
Bonneville,
El Mirage and now formerly our local track of the
Maxton Mile. The Super-Rat build of a Rotax Motor matched to a flat track frame and custom fairing seems to be a killer combo. What we find the most interesting about land speed racing though is the camaraderie. Every time we go out to El Mirage with our friends in the San Diego chapter of the Bean Bandits there is such a solidarity on making every vehicle race ready. This bug has now infected us and hopefully 2012 will finally see the Buell hitting the 130mph to 145mph to which we are aiming for. Too much to do until then, so check out the Egg Salad build you see here.
