I am holding fast on my original requirement of 10 bikes.

Only 13 days to go to the race.


Personally hope you dont get 10, and doubt you will. I want to see the e-bikes i know are going (Etards in particular) running against the gassers, they wont have a hope in hell against it, electric will make the gassers look silly yet again hehehe :P :mrgreen:

Good luck to all e-riders, and to the red neck stink bikers, i hope you only get grazes not broken bones, well at least not compound fractures :-P

KiM

thanks for the well wishes, KIm :P
Why do you personally hope I dont get 10 eBikes???
Etards bike is built by my buddy Thud right?

eBikes are running against the stink bikes. You is confused...
Hitting the Fosters heavy again, eh? :mrgreen:
Such fun chatting with a drunken Aussie troll...... :P

Hey, I am promoting a race and rivalry is a good thing, keep it up.
Thanks


If they are racing against stink bikes why did you say:-
"but better get 9 more ebikes or there will not be a separate eBike class"
How can i be confused if i am quoting exactly what your saying dopey?!
Might wanna get your snout away from the petrol tank, seems the fumes could be playing with your memory :mrgreen:

FYI:- I haven't had a drink of any alcohol for over a month i am on a calorie controlled
diet atm. Beside the point i dont drink Fosters when i am drinking
(nor do many Australians its shit beer for export) Need to come up with a better comeback
against Australians than "drinking too much Fosters" going to tell me to 'Throw a shrimp on the
barbie" or will it be yoiu slept with my mother, just sayin... :P It is the RedNecK that is confused not the Australian.... :mrgreen:

I agree rivalry is great to get the racers going hence why i am posting in this thread
and tiz looking allot like stink bikes getting pwned hard again too bwahaha.. Can't
wait to read the 'shocked and whinging' motorbicyling redneck comments after this event
some of the posts after the deathrace were priceless shows how totally clueless the members
at motorbicyling really are when it comes to performance of electric e-bikes...slow and
cant go far hehehe didn't they get a shock after the Death Race, that poor bastard on the
Morini powered bike that lead all race bar last 3 laps must still be steaming bwahaha ... :mrgreen:

KiM

p.s and yes Thud did build etards bike, and by all accounts is LOVING it big time, not surprisingly with a
big mofo Turnigy and a ThudSTeR 2 speed on it! i know how he feels hehehe....

I spoke to BiMoPed over the weekend and he has requested that racers preregister and if possible prepay.
The prepaid racers will just walk in on Saturday morning, the preregistered racers will have to stand in line to make payment and anyone who just shows up to race or ride will have to wait for all preregistered bikes to make payment.
So best is to pre register and prepay, but for sure to help BiMoPed work out with logistics at least preregister.

Hey Bill,

Get your butt to Willow!

For 1.5laps, my bike owned everything in unlimited like they were pedal bikes.

Then the motor melted into a lump if charred copper..... :'(

Lots and lots of semi-peppy gas bikes with Morini motors, 11 of them I think.

I have tons if pics to post when I get home.
For ebike parts, don't be a douche, buy from http://www.ebikes.ca or http://www.MethTek.com

The eCortina was running third in the unlimited class main :mrgreen: when the Astro fried :x , behind one of those Morini BoXer's (second) and a whacked out 4 stroke (first). Frying 2 3220 Astos in less than a week is painful. Only eBike remaining running was SoSouty!
I sure had a great time and so did Tim, the eCortina rider who smoked most everything on the track...but electrics have a ways to go in terms of reliability, it's why I ran the eCortina today, to make it better and better.

hey Bill
Thanks a lot for your tip that lead to the new track. :D
Some of you eBike guys are OK :P if only a few more of you guys could just finish... :P
Hope you make the next Oct 22nd race, make sure to say hi as I owe you one.

Actually all you all eBike guys were great, except # 117 Dan was a little crusty and
needed to cover those naked ankles when he was burning around the track but he
actually finished so he got points for that. :mrgreen:

I was too busy too screw with liveforphysics much but don't count on that next time.
!0 hp my f u c king arse LOL and those motorcycle tires were impressive as well
as disc brakes as big as his wheels!
Next time maybe more of you lame keyboard jockeys will show! :mrgreen:

Pfgffttt......LOL # 81 on the AGK monsta 4 stoke 6.5 hp HF made everyone there look
like they were only pedaling including yourself.
He lapped #0 Alex on a 9.2 hp Morini the 2nd place guy from Tucson.

Only 9 Morinis and a few weren't running in the finals.

I got a question for you, what top speed did your eMotorcycle attain at Laguna?
what was the hp?
