@rentatrip1 Yup. Board Track bikes didn't use brakes. Most of the time they used their boots. Pretty crazy considering the fact that they often hit 100mph. And as you pointed out some of them didn't have clutches, but a lot of them did. The really hardcore bikes didn't have a clutch OR a hand throttle! (like the Indian he showed in another video.) You had to reach down and adjust the carb manually. All this while you are flying around a rickety track in a sweater and a pair of goggles..

i totallly like the way you did your shop.
Its really nice.
Id do mine just like it.
the starter wheel in the floor, with the foot box's,
and exhaust collector box at the wall is really cool too.
that's a really good Idea
simple but effective.
concrete floor, and roomy and airy too.

make sure to put up the video when the rear tire catches and flings the bike across the shop into the opposite wall okay?

I don't think those straight pipes are good for a 2 stroke... need's some back pressure.
