TURBO BIKE PICS FROM A ALMOST NEW MEMBER

I will have to get ahold of a good scanner to scan all my old dragstrip photos from back in the day so I can share them with everyone. Also have pictures of the original build of my Turbo LTD from early 80s.

How the heck did he get that clutch to hold on that Z1R? Or did he have the spacer to allow a stock clutch cover with a lockup? I never could get my all motor 1200 clutch to hold before we sprayed it, put lockup and spray on and yeeeeeehaaaaaa that thing was nasty.

Is that Bo O'Brocta on that Terminal Van Lines bike.

That Z1R was always in a state of evolving ..
Ted was not afraid to beat it hard and we put more pistons, and clutches in it than 10 other bikes will ever see. But that also made him very fast. This bike ended up with a 1075 ATP Turbo kit, with a 6 or 8 inch over swingarm.2 stage nitrous and more. He strechted the seat to match the new wheelbase and painted it saffire blue candy over gold flake.

YES Thats BO on the bike Very Kool Guy to know. Knew him while he rode Bill Hahns Funny Bike RIP BO

Yeah, that makes sense on the multiple clutch changes. We took a turbo Z1R to bike week in 92, 1045 with spray, made 297hp and couldn't get the spray to work. The 2 other Z1R turbos made 170 something and 190 something. All of them claimed to have the exact same combos but I didn't buy it. I've got a passion for these turbo things so I know your addiction.

I hope you are looking at my pics as I want to come see you when the riding season is over for a trick swingarm. Plenty of time to brajn storm ideas.

Oh yeah, I'm looking. When you posted those times I chucked, buddy of mine went off the end of a local track back in the early 80's on a turbo Z1R, went 9.56 at 156 mph. They had way more go than woe. :laugh:

Yep Those were the days
My Buddy got that Z1R down to 9 flat before he sold it. Miss that bike, Hope to see it again and maybe buy it for old times sake. Gonna find a scanner then upload a bunch more shots from the Days of Thunder

Killer pics.
Thanks for sharing.
