Food for boardtrack thoughts

[Boardtrack fan]

I know it will be awhile before the next build off but, I thought I would give the people thinking of a board tracker some food for thought. I don't want to get in over my head but, if you would like pictures of a specific make or model board track bike let me know and I can send you some jpegs. I have lots of books and photos I've been collecting over the years. Also if anyone has some photos of board track bikes I'd love to see them.

Wondering what size tires they are using on those bikes?

Love the look of them.

 

[Boardtrack fan]

I believe most all were 28x3. In one of the pictures you can see on an Excelsior it has 28x2 1/4 tires.

These are fabulous, i especially like scrutinizing the different fork styles. VERY inspirational...

Oh man those are cool. I cant wait for the moto GP race coming back to the Indy 500 track this year.

Truly inspirational!

Immediately two thoughts came to mind. 1.) NO FEAR! and 2.) Works of Art.

It's funny though, bicycles in the board track style and moto's in that same style have different ergonomic considerations due to the need to pump the pedals up and down. The dimensions on a moto are much different and thus the look ends up being unique to itself. I love the lines of the Moto, but they just aren't as practical on a bike that I plan to pedal a few miles, LOL

One more thing, How about someone reproduse a high quality shirt like that X-LCR shirt. That would be cooooool.

Is drool good for the keyboard,just a thought.Seriously loving the photos and another build style I thought would be cool is speedway fixies or at least the style...any takers? they might be called flat trackers in your area. :idea:

 

[Boardtrack fan]

Gold street, are you talking about those motorcycles that race around on dirt and run over each other with spiked tires?!

 

[Gold Street Customs]

They didn't have spiked tires or brakes! they raced on oval dirt tracks and they were sideways in the corners usually Harleys, BSA,Triumph,Norton...Now to find some pictures.
