Yesterday was a busy day at the Project Two 50 race shop!! Todd preparing the National bike for Red Bud along with Mike and Roger working on the "new" practice machine. Jackie and Derek worked on preparing the golf cart, trailer and offering help where ever needed.
I just tried to stay out of the way!! ;D ;D

Mike rode the two bikes back to back for the first time... the difference in power is crazy. You can actually hear the difference! The practice bike "pings", the National machine "ROARS"....
More to come!

Little hint, hook the gas line up, the bike will run better... ;D
Seriously, the bike looks awesome! Very nice.
-
You're funny!! I snuck in there when Todd had to answer the call of nature! ;D ;D
Thanks for the compliments... it runs better than it looks!
Hopefully in a week or two we'll have a pro photographer take some really good pics!!
-
I just got a little too excited at work looking at that thing.
That race bike is a sexy bitch, Im digging the white red and black, the wheels are sweet.
I think the beast is ready to bang the Leap!!!
-
LUV IT, GOOD LUCK!!!!!
-
Damn, that race bike looks sick.
It's got 450 killa written all over it.
-
Thing of beauty. For a Yamaha anyway. ;D
-
I love the details, number on the axles, graphics, titanium, color, etc.
Are those radiator brackes behind the tank plastic?
Killer bike.
Todd

That race bike is AMAZING. The level of detail you guys have gone too is unbelievable.
Make sure Mike is careful on the practice bike still using standard suspension.

YES!! ;D ;D

Who said it was stock?? :-* :-*
While it's not at the same level as the A kit, it's pretty close. Jay at Get Real Racing (our suspension guy) set them up to have the internal valving set really close to the race bike... no it does not have the coatings, nor does it respond like the A kit... but it's similar enough that Mike can practice at "Mike Speed"!! :o :o
Thanks for all the compliments!!
-
Man I tell you what a tricked out #894 Suzuki RM 250 would look good next to the big YZ, lol.
I want that suspension bad, I might possibly give one of my nuts to have a works suspension kit like that!

I suppose, this is most likely not the right time, or place to be asking this, as you are likely not looking this far ahead right now, but is there a possibility, if you get more sponsorship money, of sending a rider to Canada next year? We have a well established racing series, with TV coverage and everything, although, our tracks are a little different. Meaning, that we don't groom our tracks as often as the California tracks, our tracks get very rough, it would be quite a statement to do well with a two stroke at a track in Canada, and, don't worry, there is good competition in Canada, maybe not as good as in America, but we have riders like Blair Morgan, and Colton Faccioti, you also may have a better chance of qualifying in Canada, as, we have no true factory teams. Just a thought
-
If this project went to Canada, they shouldnt be concerned about "having a chance of qualifying", they should be concerned if they DIDN'T WIN. While the Canada series might get TV coverage in Canada, the AMA national series gets worldwide coverage and is the number 1 series in the world. The only place to make a statement for the two strokes is in the AMA national series.

There, I fixed it.

Uhm, not necassarily... Lot's of American riders, actually a good amount of the riders, are American, and they don't win, besides, who is to say that our series does not get broadcasted in the US as well?
-
The Canadian series might be a good place to sort things out before taking on the AMA stuff. If you can do well up here (out of the limelight) and gain confidence and expertice,you would probaly be better positioned when it comes time to race south of the border. A fair number of Americans have practised up here over the years.

Thats one sexy piece of machinery ;D love it! the red white and black is a stand out

Do you live in Canada as well?

Maybe you should pose that thought to Dowd,Huffman,Carpenter,Northrup,Nye etc,etc to get their opinions.Granted,most US riders that show up here are on the upside or downside of their careers somewhat or if not I suspect just want some good racing in a more laid back environment.If I remember correctly,and I probably don't,Huffman for one was consistent top 15 finisher AMA the year before he came here-and didn't win.Though not AMA certainly,comp is stiff and a win is by no means guaranteed-nor is a qualifying position.The series here is broadcast multiple times on Rogers Sportsnet.
Depending how AMA qualifying goes,tv coverage up here may be better than none down there.Just a thought :)

Yes Canada is my home - western Canada (right Ford?).
-
Wow a few angry kanooks here !!!!!!!!! :P
I only want them racing the AMA series so that I can see them here in Australia.
THIS WEEKEND - YEEEHAAAA
-
Who would have predicted the success of the Britten roadracing team (much of their testing was done here in Canada)? Both Smart cars and Hyundai owe their successful U.S. launches to careful preparation in the Canadian market.
It's just a thought but Ontario and Quebec are next door to New England, have very competitive motocross series and may be just the place "to test the waters". I would think success here would place Project Two 50 in a much better position to tackle the ultra competitive AMA series south of the border.

There's a western Canada? :o

British Columbia for the win!

All eyes are on you now! only a few days before RED BUDD!!!! GOD SPEED as for all the canook trashing. Canada makes some pretty cool stuff speaking as a yank, I love my wood boiler and thier hydroponic nutrients are top notch!
-
