Thumper Racing

As with the BE-1 thumper project, race bike are always an evolution of processes and ideas. Below are some pictures of my days of racing an FT500c. You can see the evolution of the bike as I moved it from a pure "E-production"  WERA racer to an "E-Superbike" and eventually ""Clubman"

The 24 hours of Nelson Ledges - GS550ESF

Before

The 1986 24 Hours of Nelson Ledges, Ohio was a tiring, but fun event. We arrived with a junkyard recovered Suzuki GS550ESf, spare levers, safety wire and fuel. We were in 3rd place going into the 24th hour. Supposedly the 4th place team made up 5 laps on us the final hour. (I don't think so)
