New Race Hub for the LSR Triumph

Ronnie from Sacramento, CA made this hub for my '52 LSR Triumph, he is a stand up guy and his work is stellar. I'd recommend him any day, great way to support handmade craftsmanship made in the USA. Check out his stuff here..

Old Friends

I met my childhood friend Jörg from Germany. Remembering my beautiful days in Sande was great.We met in Las Vegas, next day we went to the Hover Dam and drove around Lake Mead. What a beautiful day we had.
The two skinny guys, reuntied after 30 years! - Not so skinny anymore ;-)

What an engineering marvel! Just east of Las Vegas is the spectacular Hoover Dam

Last Race Of The Season

Now we have a long winter ahead of us until the first race next year in May. This season we joined the SCTA Club, 'Milers' and met lots of nice people, of course we gained lots of experience too. Our best official time was 116.345 MPH, we are pretty happy with the result, even though we had the potential to do better. After the '56 Triumph project, the racing bike "Kursed" will go through a complete rebuild including new design sheet metal components. The new 2012 Kursed V2 build will be published here after April, our goal is to have the total redesigned racing bike ready for Bonneville Speed Week August 2012.

Some pictures from our last race at El Mirage;
