I always said flat trackers were too slow. Throwing it sideways at 100mph on dirt, hell, I can do that on my mountain bike.

It sucks.  He recycled his wheels off the tard he did.

"We started mock up of the project by putting it on some spoked wheels with flat track race tires."

I was under the impression he was gonna use actual dirt track wheels.

i'm interested in seeing how this turns out...  i've liked a lot of sand's designs and i think it will def be interesting once it's done...

and for all of you that are saying it's a travesty... i have just one quote for you that should explain it all...

Marty McFly: Wait a minute, Doc. Ah... Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?
Dr. Emmett Brown: The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?

that just about sums it up i think

That was an awesome, awesome thing to see, especially since Amy and I got to watch it trackside, about 10 feet away from Nicky Hayden, Larry Pegram, and some of the other racing gods who were present.

Saw it too.

I can't believe they took the quintessential road bike and hacked it up. Go to hell Roland Sands.

Flat track is awesome.  To be honest I think a 1198 motor would be much superior in that application - flat track is all about hooking up and the more-spaced-out power pulses of the twin will do much better than v4.  I haven't raced flat track yet, but have dabbled a little.  Its huge fun.
