Roland’s race bike!

Posted on January 28, 2017

Hey, check this out!  I stopped by Roland’s place yesterday morning to get a few closeup shots of the detailing on his race bike…a CSC RC3 prepped for WERA racing.   Roland’s going to be racing in Fontana tomorrow, and Steve and I will be there, too.

The phollowing photos show the level of detail that goes into prepping a stock motorcycle for WERA racing.    There’s lots of safety wire, a belly pan, taping the lights, removing the turn signals, and more…

This last photo is something I had to ask about.  Roland told me it’s a mount for the transponder that signals the bike’s times and is used for what we used to call a photo finish.   Cool!

And finally, a quick video so you can hear Roland’s race RC3 run.  That’s the stock muffler you’re hearing in the video below, and it sounds good!

Keep an eye on the blog…I’ll have more photos from the track later tomorrow!
