Hello All, Robert in California here, and I'm looking to use an early 6-speed from a Strada in the supercharged Morini Land speed Race Bike. As I do not trust the 1st gear gear-pair that took the "Big Hit" during the dyno mishap a while back, I need to replace "just those parts" ...

The Red Baron was clocked at 123.6 mph at the November 2016 El Mirage Race and this is the fastest official speed recorded to date. It clocked 115 mph in the standing mile at both runway races. However, I've seen 120+ in the standing mile since then with the new camshaft in the motor. Next year I'm ...

Thank You P&S, Very nice compliment and very good questions you raise... My thoughts on the American land speed race courses: 1- Bonneville: large without uphill or downhill. In fact, you can see the curve of the earth it is so generally level. However, it is nowhere near smooth and hard.... In ...

Well Done !

Hello all, Some might remember the Supercharge Moto Guzzi that I discussed some time back as a worthy opponent for my Supercharge Morini racer. Well, that bike is FAST, and it set a new USA National record of 124.1 mph at Bonneville 3 weeks ago.... I had planed on going to that event and run for the...

Well FastHarry, I have good news and some not so good news: 1st- a well tuned and properly run-in 350 K2 street legal will pull 26 hp on a dyno at the rear wheel on a cool day at sea level... Mine did before I turned it into a dedicated land speed bike... 2nd- The good news is you are making a lot m...

Hello All, Morini racing update,,,,,,,,,, In June, high winds stopped the Event shortly after it got started so it didn't count.... Tomorrow is the July Event, and the Baron will be there reconfigured to comply with the (new this year) "M" class specs... Big Tail is off , a smaller front f...

Hello All, Well, as luck would have it, the main video guy at El Mirage event included the Morini pass down the course last Saturday... Turn your sound up and you can hear what a morini 350 motor sounds like at 7300 rpm under 12.5 pound of boost.... Forward to the 6 minute time index.... I hope you ...

Hello All, The Baron Team is still looking to set a record at El Mirage unfortunately ,,,, 119.8 mph was the best we could do... 11 mph crosswind put the Bike into a "Weave' at high speed and things got a little interesting north of 110 mph .., luckily, turning into the wind, as much as the cou...
