Recently one of our esteemed Bikernet™ contributors sent me a batch of historic Motordrome shots, then a pile of great shots of classic racing bikes from that era. I recently wrote a screenplay, called Splintered Road, about this era around WWI and it’s being looked at in Hollywood. This year one of the racing heavyweights, and a man who has been involved in the industry all his life, Don Emde, published a magnificent book on the sport of board track racing. – Bandit

The Board Track Era ran from 1908 to approximately 1929. There were dozens of tracks across America that touted high banks and were up to two and one-half miles around. The term “Board Track Racer” also referred to the similar version that was raced on dirt tracks.

Originally, turns were banked at about 15°. But while this curvature may have been well-suited to the slower speeds of bicycling, it soon became obvious that banks could be steeper for motorcycles. Motordrome designers kept pushing the envelope, eventually reaching banks as steep as 60°. Speeds kept getting faster, reaching and then surpassing 100 mph.

AHDRA motorcycle drag racing series race coverage report.

When Bill Rowe purchased the assets of the inert AHDRA All-American motorcycle drag racing series late in 2019, the challenges before him and his family staff were daunting enough. But when 2020 came along and the event landscape went haywire, Rowe put his head down and completed a schedule for AHDRA racers at some of the best tracks in the world—finishing the season at legendary Gainesville Raceway on November 6-8.

Raceday started off with a rousing, live National Anthem by Rebecca Daniels and was topped off Monday’s true, classic racing banquet with great food and drinks in a suitably classy atmosphere. Champions get gold cards, jackets, great framed Moto-Lenz montages, and of course—#1 plates.

Elvis Presley, who died in 1977 at age 42, was also a motorcycle fan. A 1975 FLH 1200 Harley-Davidson that he liked to ride around his Graceland estate in Memphis carries a pre-sale estimate of $300,000 – $350,000 at a memorabilia auction in Los Angeles. Another of Presley’s bikes was sold for $800,000 in September 2019.

But that’s just part of the auction. A gold and diamond “TCB” ring worn by Elvis Presley is expected to fetch more than $500,000. The ranges from rock guitars to a set of master tapes from the Woodstock festival.

The Elvis Presley ring is described as the first in a series of rings with the TCB (Taking Care of Business) letters and lightning bolt motif that the singer adopted as his mantra in 1969 when he returned to performing concerts after focusing on movies.

“It’s the quintessential Elvis jewelry piece,” said Brigitte Kruse, founder of GWS Auctions. Kruse said she thought the ring could fetch anything between $500,000 and $1 million at the 300-item auction on Nov. 28.

Presley gave the ring, which has a total 2.25 carats of diamonds and which he designed himself, to his opening band singer J.D. Sumner in 1975.

The most expensive lot could be a collection of master tapes from the 1969 Woodstock festival that sat in a producer’s storage locker for more than 10 years and have never been available for sale before.

The 700 plus hours of tapes, independently valued at $1.6 million, include performances by Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Who and dozens more artists who took part in what is seen as a cornerstone of hippie culture.

Kruse said it was difficult to estimate how much the Woodstock tapes might sell for. “There’s just nothing to compare it to,” she said. “Every now and then we bump into those pieces that are truly exceptional and things you wouldn’t even think still existed.”

Tribal, Goth, Ornamental, Pinstripping, Tattoos and more.

The above title is perhaps the obvious statement of the week. One really doesn’t need statistics to know that Harley-Davidson is an Internet phenomenon: if we don’t know it for sure, it’s something most us feel in our guts. But it’s nice to get some confirmation from time to time.

Born in 1903 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Harley has grown into the most successful motorcycle brand ever. And by successful we don’t necessarily mean the one that sells the most, but the one most people and custom shops on this planet think/dream of.

As of 2017, Harley makes around 240,000 motorcycles each year – most remain stock, but a great deal of them go down the aftermarket part as well. Many other Harleys come to be from unofficial garages, who make custom rides and try to gain some attention by using Harley parts and slapping the name on the builds.

And the Internet loves them all. According to research conducted by Australian insurance company Budget Direct, Harley-Davidson is the most-searched motorcycle manufacturer in many parts of the world.

How much so? Well, our world is divided into roughly 195 countries, and Harley is at the top of the search engine’s list in 83 of them. And we mean the bigger ones, not some forgotten island-state.

You can check out the map available in the photo gallery for details. All the regions you see there in orange are ruled by Harley searches, from the U.S. to the Far East, and from Northern Europe to the southernmost point of Australia.

There are other names on the list as well. In some places, people like Ducati or Honda more, so they use Google to search for those. Others go for Kawasaki or Royal Enfield, and there are even some that enjoying googling Bajaj.

But just a quick glance at the map shows who the true king of the realm really is.

Royal Enfield is looking to strengthen its position by expanding its portfolio both in domestic as well as overseas markets

Royal Enfield recently launched its cruiser motorcycle Meteor 350 after a long and arduous wait. The bike had been highly anticipated for almost a year now and since its launch has mostly received positive responses from different quarters. However, Royal Enfield will not be limiting itself with this launch.

The Chennai-based bikemaker is looking to expand its portfolio – both domestic and international – by introducing as many 28 new models, in the next seven years. Starting with the Meteor 350, which was recently launched, the next bike planned for launch is the new gen Classic 350 in next quarter. This is expected to be followed by new gen Bullet 350, Electra 350, Cruiser 650, Himalayan 650, Classic Electric etc.

Royal Enfield Future Plans
Speaking to PTI on Royal Enfield’s future plans, CEO Vinod K Dasari said that the company has got a product plan for the next seven years or so. He added that the brand is looking to launch a new product every quarter which means that at least 28 new bikes will be launched in the next seven years. This is to strengthen its position in the domestic as well as international markets.

Royal Enfield recently set up a new manufacturing facility in the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires which became the company’s first overseas production base outside India. The company is also looking to set up a new manufacturing facility in Thailand in the next 6-12 months followed by one in Brazil in the future.

He further goes on to add that all these new motorcycles will play in the mid-segment, i.e., 250cc-750cc displacement. Dasari did not divulge any details regarding the investment required for the upcoming models but said that the company will spend “several hundred crores on new products, new technologies like electric vehicles, digital solutions and so on”. Yes, an all electric Royal Enfield based on the Classic platform is due for launch in 2023.

Dasari further elaborates that the company has enough production capacity for the next 2-3 years and, therefore, a significant amount of its investments will be flown towards development of new technology including digital solutions, enhancements and new products including EVs; and global expansion.

Royal Enfield’s Growth Prospects This Year
When questioned about the brand’s growth prospects in the domestic market in the current fiscal year, Dasari said this year has to be seen on a month-on-month basis. The first four to five months businesses were seriously affected due to the outbreak of novel coronavirus and the subsequent nationwide lockdown.

However, now the company has achieved booking levels better than pre-Covid levels. He claims that even though Royal Enfield has received bookings for more than one month, it has inventory in the pipeline left to suffice 15-20 days.

Meteor 350
Royal Enfield, primarily known for its mid-segment displacement motorcycles, has been in the news very often lately due to the launch of Meteor 350. It is offered in three variants- Fireball, Stellar and Supernova and has been priced at Rs 1.75 lakh for the base variant and Rs 1.90 lakh for the top-spec variant. (Both prices are ex-showroom).

The screen will also be the first to offer split-screen functionality for your phone.

BMW’s big screen will split your bike’s dash between phone and bike info.

We recently covered BMW Motorrad’s totally cyberpunk and totally excellent CE04 scooter concept, and one of that vehicle’s coolest features was a 10.25-inch information screen for the rider. A screen that size is pretty big in a car, and on a motorcycle or scooter, it’d be gargantuan, but that’s not going to stop the Germans.

See, BMW is planning on adding that 10.25-inch screen to some of its motorcycles in 2021, according to an announcement made Thursday by Tier 1 supplier Bosch. And it gets more interesting than that because this screen is the first motorcycle TFT that can do split-screen. By that I mean you can have your motorcycle’s dash information on one side and your phone’s info on the other.

The screen can do this magic trick thanks to a piece of software for your phone called from Bosch called MySpin, and while the big screen is going to hit BMW first, Bosch also confirms that both Ducati and Kawasaki have MySpin-based apps of their own in the works, though those are meant to work with existing 6.5-inch screens.

The big problem with that much smartphone integration is the possibility of distraction for the rider, which is dangerous in a car, borderline suicidal on a motorcycle. Bosch believes it’s nailed down a way to bring smartphone integration to a motorcycle dash without that risk. Based on what we can tell, it involves limiting access to only motorcycle-specific apps like Rever (which is excellent and something I use personally).

The push toward TFT LCD dashes on motorcycles has been going on for a few years now, and it’s exciting to see screens get bigger, better and more functional. We’d like to see more of these screens become touchscreens too — like on our long-term Indian FTR1200 — but it remains to be seen if that will be the case with the big Bosch unit.

When BillRowe purchased the assets of the inert AHDRA All-American motorcycle dragracing series late in 2019, the challenges before him and his family staff weredaunting enough. But when 2020 came along and the event landscape went haywire,Rowe put his head down and completed a schedule for AHDRA racers at some of thebest tracks in the world—finishing the season at legendary Gainesville Raceway on November 6-8. 

Racedaystarted off with a rousing, live National Anthem by Rebecca Daniels and wastopped off Monday’s true, classic racing banquet with great food and drinks ina suitably classy atmosphere. Champions get gold cards, jackets, great framedMoto-Lenz montages, and of course—#1 plates.

ProDragster and Pro Fuel/Nitro Funnybike 

Few people were happier in the Gainesville Raceway winners circle than veteran racer SamWhite. That’s because Sam had a lotta plaques to hold—for Pro Dragster winsfrom both Orlando and Gainesville, Gainesville number one qualifier,and Gainesville Pro Fuel/Nitro Funnybike winner.

The Pro Dragster class opted to runtheir Orlando eliminations during Saturday qualifying, and White—riding theiconic, yellow, former Johnny Vickers Hawaya Racing bike—took that win over JimMartin. 

Second verse, same as the first as theSaturday result repeated on Sunday. Martin took the tree by .030 this time butthat yellow bike always seems to find a way to win. White’s 7.34 at 171 drovearound Martin’s 7.39 at 166.

Florida’s own Preston “President”Bartlett won his fourth Pro Dragster championship across multiple series. “I’mvery humbled,” said Bartlett. “Still trying to wrap my head around this. Thanksto all our sponsors who make this happen.” 

White also won Pro Fuel when championRocky Jackson no-showed for the final. Jackson detonated his motorspectacularly in qualifying and was finished in the class for the weekend..

Top Fuel 

Rich Vreeland bookendedthis first AHDRA season, winning TopFuel in the Cordovaopener and then again at the finals in Gainesville.

Vreelandwasn’t so confident heading into the Gainesville final, and was openly saying he’d feel bad beingchampion if he only had the one win. And with Bob “Opie” Malloy as his opponent, Vreeland had every reason to contemplatethat outcome. 

Numidiawinner and NHRA Top Fuel Harley record-holder Malloy qualified number one inOrlando and again in Gainesville—this time with a 6.31 that left quite a gap between him and the restof the field.

Malloyadvanced to the final when Robert “Ziggy” Stewart couldn’t get started in thesemi, then Malloy ran a very off-performance solo pass that—as it turnedout—damaged a piston that left him wounded for the final with Vreeland. “Iknew something wasn’t right but a lot of times it still runs fine,” said Bob, who wasn’t under power for 60 feetagainst Rich, who ran his usual, consistent pass—a 6.73 at 206 miles per hour—forthe win. 

“I just what to thank my girlfriendand my team for giving me a consistent bike all year, and especially thisweekend,” said Vreeland. “I also want to thank Advanced Sleeve and WorldwideBearings.

“I am humbled to have my name added to the list of AHDRA Top Fuel championslike Ray Price, Jim McClure, Jay Turner, Tommy Grimes.”

T-Man Performance Pro Mod 

John Price swept all the T-ManPerformance Pro Mod honors at Gainesville—qualifying number one, winning the race, and nettingthe championship. Runner-up Loreto Prescegave a game effort, taking the tree by a whopping .076. Price’s 8.65 at 150.68mph was enough to drive around Presce’s 8.82.

Zippers Performance Modified 

JeffWorkman polished off a great year, winning Zippers Performance Modified and the championship. Like Presce in Pro Mod, runner-up Gary DeGrange (also the number one qualifier) took the tree (.140 to .169) but slowed to an 11.03 while Workmanworked it on by with a 9.55 at 135.

“It was a battle, a repeat of Numidia,” saidWorkman. “DeGrange was running the same numbers with me, (we were both)battling a strong headwind. 

“To win the Modified championship is the highlightof my career. I’ve been chasing it for ten years with most of the same racers, beenrunner-up several times, but finally got it done. Special thanks to Powermistracing fuel and Harley-Davidson of Bowling Green. They kept me running strongand fast.”

GMS Racing Engines Extreme Gas and Outlaw Street 

To his motto be true, MikeMotto again won two—GMS Racing Engines Extreme Gas and Outlaw Street. Theno-bar FuelTech racer doubled up at Numidia and Atlanta, qualified number onein both classes at Orlando, and did it all again in Gainesville.

Motto beat Rylan Mason inOutlaw and Andie Rawlings (riding Donnie Huffman’s Buell) in X Gas. Motto tookthe X Gas championship while Mason won the Outlaw season title. 

“It’sbeen a crazy year in the drag race world with all this COVID crap going on,”said Motto. “I think that we are all grateful to Bill Rowe and his newlyresurrected AHDRA to give us all a place race our machines! There’s a greatsaying: ‘Quitters never win and winners never quit.’ This is a great ‘Motto’ tolive by!

“Winning a championship in Extreme Gas and a runner-up Outlaw Street championship in the same yearis something I never expected, but am grateful for. We have had a tough fewyears prior to this year but we pushed harder and harder and every time wefailed it made us stronger! I have a strong will to persist and quitting isjust not in my DNA. 

“We were number qualifier at every event weentered, set multiple AHDRA records and won every race! This was a result of alot of testing and a lot of hard work. Being a part of the GMS Racing Team hasmade these results possible. My friends Gregg Dahl, Damon Kuskie and the restof the team at GMS were relentless in helping me to achieve this extraordinaryracing year!

“We have now dipped into the 7 second quarter mileat speeds of 170+ mph. GMS Racing Engines and their superior tuning programhave just begun! GMS has developed and produced the new ‘War Head’ program andthese heads are in full production and for sale by GMS to race teams lookingfor an advantage in the 2021 race season. 

“We believe that we will break the into the low 7to high 6 second range next year, and Gregg and Damon will not rest until wemeet the challenge. I’m excited to see what we can do with these beasts nextyear!

“I cannot say enough about GMS Racing and thesupport and friendship that they extended to me. Thank you GMS, Energy Oneclutches, FuelTech, MTC Engineering, Renegade Fuels, R&D Transmissions, AHDRA,Moto Lenz Photos, and my entire race family and friends. 

“I would especially like to thank my beautifulwife, who travels to every race with me. She assists me with set-up, tuning,and maintenance between every round, always keeps my head straight, and most ofall tolerates my insatiable need for speed! This would not be possible withouther! I love that woman! See you all at the races!”

Horsepower Inc. Hot Street and Vreeland’s Harley-Davidson 9.70Super Gas 

ScottSchenkel also won two at Gainesville—Horsepower Inc. HotStreet and Vreeland’s Harley-Davidson 9.70 Super Gas.

Schenkelwon the Hot Street championship, too. Scott and his V-Rod took the Super Gas win when runner-up Vance Houdyshellredlit by -.073. John Schotts scored the 9.70 championship. 

“Of course, thanks to Bill Rowe and AHDRA forgiving us a season when things looked grim with this pandemic,” said Schenkel. “It was a greatseason and to get two wins in 9.70 Vreelands Super Gas is awesome. Second placein points is great, this year was the most effort I put in since I started racingand it paid off. Anytime to win one of these races is a great accomplishmentbecause the competition is super tough.

“The Hot Street win was my first of season—the restof them I was runner-up. The win was bittersweet to finish the season with and takethe championship. 

“Chad Hart, owner/operator of xlxbhorsepower, comesthrough making this little 76 incher fly. He’s the go-to shop for making theseXL-base platforms make power. Do need to thank Cliff Lick Jr. Trucking and Salvagefor partnering up and helping me get to these last few races. Being so far fromPennsylvania, they came through in a big way with travel costs for the southernswing.

“Next season it’s not gonna come easy. I’m suremany of the veteran players will be back out in force and we are all gonna besuper competitive, but until then I’m gonna enjoy my limelight.” 

“It’s been a stressful year for my brother Jimmyand I,” said 9.70 champ Schotts. “I’ve been drag racing motorcycles off and onmy whole life and I never got a championship, and at my age (62) it was one ofthe things on my bucket list. We put 8000 miles on the motorhome this yeargoing to AHDRA races and it paid off. So when I think about this championship,all I really can say is that dreams really do come true.”

Pro Eliminator 10.90 and Big Money $5000EliminatorShootout 

Justin Collier was yetanother double winner, taking Pro Eliminator 10.90 and—more importantly—the BigMoney $5000 Eliminator Shootouton Saturday night. Chris Robbie’slight would have been very competitive to Collier’s in the .400 reaction timeera, but in this era it was .340 behind. That made him a nearly instant runner-up.Collier celebrated with a monster burnout.

Paul Watson was the 10.90runner-up. Natural-born promoter Watson is quick with his social media postsbut wasn’t so quick at the tree against Collier, with a .122 vs. Justin’s sharp.016. That pretty much tells you all you need to know. 

Collier drove to Gainesville early Saturdaymorning after deciding to race as late as 3:00 on Friday. “I had to use aborrowed bike, as my personal bike broke the motor bad in Atlanta a fewweekends ago,” said Justin. “My plan for the entire weekend was to not worryabout anyone in the other lane. Each and every pass I raced myself. It was upto the opponent in the other lane to beat me.

“Saturday in the Shootout, the bike was dead-on.The 60-foot times moved .008 between five passes. That allowed me to just go domy job. 

“Sunday morning my wife Kristin drove up. I hadn’tfelt any pressure all weekend till first round in 10.90. I thought to myself‘Oh crap. The wife drove up, I sure as hell better not lose!’ Luckily again, thebike and me where able to do our job better than the rest of the field and landin the winners circle!

“Huge ‘Thank You’ To Gil and Debra for loaning methe bike. Giant Thanks to Bill Rowe and the entire AHDRA staff for sticking itout this tough year and making sure we all had somewhere to race!” 

BradReiss Jr. snagged 10.90 number one qualifier and the championship.

Crete’s Performance Street Eliminator and Sunday Eliminator 

There’s a very good chancethat Kevin Winters would havedoubled up—again. Winters won Crete’s PerformanceStreet Eliminator and was in Sunday’s Eliminator final against Darrell Smithwhen one rain shower too many ended the event one final short of completion.

Charlie Walker finished upthe season with the unfortunate distinction of Runner-Up King. Walker redlit by-.009 against Winters in the 11:50 final.Kevin also won the 11:50 and Eliminator championships. 

“Iraced at Gainesville in ‘06, ‘07, ’08 and ‘12, was never able to get a win,” saidWinters. “I finally did it this weekend. Atlanta was the same way.

“What can I say about this season, it was a lot offun! I only ran five out of the seven races, had ET locked up going intoGainesville, and had to go one round for 11.50. I was just happy to be racingthis year with the pandemic and all. I want to thank Energy One clutches—bestclutches in the business!” 

Mad Monkey Motorsports Draggin’ Bagger

Numidia Mad MonkeyMotorsports Draggin’ Bagger winner Branon White qualified number one inAtlanta, then did it again at Orlando, and one last time in Gainesville. Addall that up and more and it spelled “Championship” beforeGainesville eliminations even started. 

White redlit and let the Gainesville final slip awayto teammate Travis Groff. “This weekend waschallenging to say the least,” said Groff. “We struggled in qualifying with thehurricane coming in and the air constantly changing, and 20 mph headwinds. But,what we did not struggle with was determination to figure it out and keep ournumber two position in the race for the points.

“Wehonestly hoped we would end up in the finals with my teammate and mentorBranon, but we could not bet on it. We for sure were not going to bet I wouldwin against him! 

“Branonis one hell of a racer and friend, but when it comes to the win, it’s business.Bottom line, we knew we would have to be more focused than ever to beat him.All in all, we did it and we put on one hell of a show doing it. I also made apersonal best pass at 10.06 at 130 mph.

“There’sgoing to be ups and downs. Not everyday is going to be a win. But we worked ourbutts off since May and we made second place in points for the 2020 AHDRAseason, won the World Finals in Gainesville, and lastly, Rookie of the Year.Needless to say, this weekend was an emotionally and physically challengingweekend, but I would not trade it for a second! 

“I’vegotta thank Branon and Mad Monkey Motorsports, Robert Snipes with SnipesMachine, John MaGee with Bandit Machine Works, Rick Byrun with RaptorPerformance, and Rodney and Melissa Shrum at Revolution Performance. Lastly, mywife and best friend Suzanne Groff for helping me live out my dream. Withoutthese folks, we could not do this.”

White also had some‘Thanks’ to dish out. “I’d like to give a special thanks to AndySimon for his input and advice during the 2020 season,” said Branon. “We struggledmore in 2019 than any other season in my life. It seemed nothing was ever justright—constant engine failures, electrical gremlins, and anything you couldthink of happened. It was time for a change with our engine program. 

“Andy and I have raced in the AHDRA for over 20years together and I’m no stranger to his accomplishments. After many talks andtime with the engine, Andy found the issues and It has been smooth sailingsince then. Now if I can just do my job!”

White also thanked RC Components, SprocketSpecialists, Backyardbaggers, Fox Suspension, Barnett Tool, Vanson Leathers,Competition Cams, C&S Machine Works, Raptor Performance, RW Mason Roofing,Lumbee Racing, Second Shift Cycles, Law Tigers, Sunoco Fuel, WorldwideBearings, and friends and family. 

ExtremeBagger

Greg Quinn nailed down the Extreme Baggerwin and championship on his ProCharged, formerTii Tharpe bike, then waxed poetic about the experience.  

“The racing world conforms unity, to see differentnationalities come together and be like family,” said Quinn. “There is differencesin many lives. Humbleness, passion and offerings without expecting to receive isabundant within the racing world. To hold the title ‘World Champion’ is arevelation to shoot for the moon and never give up on your dreams! Never thinkit makes you better than anyone but be humble and know it was part of God’splan! Thanks to all whom help me on this journey! If you are reading thismessage, hope to see you in the stands in the near future.”

Super Pro 10.30 Index 

Vance Houdyshell took the SuperPro 10.30 Index win, all but sealed when runner-up Tom Krava ceded .045 to Houdyshellat the tree. Vance need only measure his approach to the stripe at that point.But Krava—the numberone qualifier—won the championshipbattle.

“TheAHDRA Gainesville finals was a joyous success for me,” said Houdyshell. “Gainesvilleis like a homecoming three-fold due to that I’m a Gator Grad, NHRA Division 2racer, and that it was an AHDRA event. Winning 10.30 and taking second in 9.7was a victorious homecoming. Go Gators!” 

“Thank you to all that made it happen!” saidchampion Krava. “I’m just thrilled about the whole thing. I’m so happy thatBill Rowe got the AHDRA going again! Looking forward to next season too, I’mgoing to do it again! You know I had to do better than I did at Cordova!” Kravaqualified number one there and got knocked out early.

Trophy 

Donnie Huffman and hisclockwork Livewire were two for two in Trophy races, beating Manny “Flyin’Taco” Carrasquillo in one and Jeremy Cullen in the other. Cullen gas a bigly.156 advantage at the tree but broke out anyway.
