Hey gang,
This project has been active for a few years now, but is currently on hold this season. I did however want to get a thread started for future posts and just to share some pictures and videos of my baby.
So this is the Boyle family crown jewel. My dad got the bike as a basket case back in the mid-70's and used it for a commuter bike for a few years before setting it up strictly for land speed racing.
My older brother road this bike back in the 90's out at the Bonneville Speed trials. The bike was handed down to me several years ago and I had the AMA MVG-650 record for a couple years. Future posts will be in regards to next year's racing season when I try to get the record back from my buddy Alp http://alpsungurtekin.blogspot.com/. Shooting for 130MPH currently. When this bike was handed down to me from my father, the only contract was that it remain in our family. I've got about 16 more years before I pass this onto my boy.
I've got a lot of pictures, so I'm just going to shot gun this.
Here is a link to a little documentary short my cousin did for my event.

After my first run ever. The new rods stretched a bit and pulled up my barrels while doing ~100MPH on the track. I immediately new something was wrong and pulled off early. I shit you not, the engine kept running and putted me back to the pits. Had a been aware of how severe the damage was, I would have pushed it back.... Put another set of barrels on and went back to beat the record that day. ~114 and change.
BFT Boyle....
Discovered that salt was getting kicked up into the velocity stacks. This water bottle worked perfectly as a salt guard.
These are some custom triple clamps I modeled up and had a friend CNC for me.
My favorite picture. My dad is the guy to the very right. Me next to the bike. The gentleman in the Jay Leno suit is our friend Pete Springer, winner of the 1973 Baja 1000
Anyways, until next year I won't have any more updates on this.
Thanks for checking this out and feel free to ask any questions!
