Sounds fantastic :) Thanks for posting this! I have been considering building a replica of a single cylinder Thor boardtrack racer that I like, from (I think) 1910 or 1911. Only have one pic and it is from a weird angle, but I like a challenge. And seeing your running Thor racer really inspires me to get going on it :)
Since this is the only remaining model of it's kind, wouldn't it make sense to make reproductions of it, so that other enthusiasts could also enjoy the thrill of riding these old time machines?
With today's marvelous machining technology, recreating this machine wouldn't be to hard to accomplish. I can never understand why owners of these rarer machines will not allow reissues to be made...if the museum burned to the ground, then history is lost forever...no more Thor SR's.
This is the rarest boardtrack racer i have ever seen on a track I saw dale race this one of a kind thor racer at the races at wauseon ohio amca meet. Truly a an amazing boardtrack racer

i went to a cafe racer bike show last weekend in california,
i dont mean to be rude but i believe your bike isnt the only one in the world anymore.
i came across an elder man and his son who found one pretty beat up but in good enough conditions to be saved.
they said they were planning on having it finished for next years show

@duder215 They found another SR, or just a Thor racing bike?
