A couple of lightweights…

Sylvain Binau stopped by the plant last Saturday to check on the progress of his ride…and Sylvain’s ride is the bike we’re prepping for our 150cc land speed record attempt.  Steve took a few measurements and we’re custom fitting this extra-special California Scooter to fit Sylvain perfectly…

We met Sylvain on one of our group rides…he was piloting a 1-liter Yamaha sports bike, and we thought he would be perfect for our land speed record attempt in November.  I won’t tell you how much Sylvain weighs, nor can I tell you how much our land speed record Scooter weighs…but I can tell you their combined weight is a cool 306 pounds!

There's a lot of work left to do, but things are moving along nicely

Our speed bike is looking good…a custom lowered frame, a shortened front end, original Mustang tanks for a lower profile, and many, many other goodies.  We’re just getting into the engine, and I can tell you, this puppy will snarl!

Any suggestions on the color combo we should use for this bike?   Drop me a note and let me know!

We’ll keep you posted.
