.
Here's some photos and video I took of the 3 wheeler race at the lake elsinore gp last november. The race was over 45 minutes long but I condensed the footage down to 13 minutes.

Here's a link to some go pro videos from the same race.

This photo was taken on the starting line BEFORE the race, and this guy already looked like he was done for the day. I couldn't tell if he was suckin on an oxygen tube or if the other end was plugged into a bottle of Jose Cuervo, but either way, the poor guy didn't look well.

He finished last, maybe around 15 minutes behind the next guy in front of him, but at least he finished. At the 10:15 mark you can see him run over the sidewalk and almost take out the poor finish flag guy, then he looks at the flag guy as if the guy was in his way, so maybe he was hittin the sauce. https://www.mustang.org.au/forum/Smileys/smilies/th_smilies.gif

ok honda people, just to show how nice I really am (even though it pained me greatly to intentionally take a photo of a honda https://www.mustang.org.au/forum/Smileys/smilies/hmm3grin.gif), I took this photo of this ESR/Selvy engined bike with a "full" cone pipe, including cone head pipe, (maybe a Roberts). It just amazes me how much money some people will spend on a honda just to try and keep up with....yup....you guessed it....The TECATE...The Most Powerful 3 Wheeler In The Universe! https://www.mustang.org.au/forum/Smileys/smilies/hysterical.gif

So now you are the Papparazi? :lol::lol::lol: You sure have been keeping yourself busy Barn! Is that Mickey Dunlap on the 350x?

[El Camexican]

Go easy on the Cardiac Kid Barns, he was probably riding on substandard suspension ;)

Did he mention anything about conditioning himself for a Baja run?

[3 Wheel Drive]

Cool videos, thanks for sharing Barn! :beer

[yaegerb]

Out of curiosity. Is barnettt or 3 wheel drive trying to call an avid enthousiast out?

[El Camexican]

Barns, was that guy’s clutch slipping excessively?

I have no idea what you mean, but I actually felt a little bad for him as can be read in my post, but he obviously did almost hit the flag guy then looked at him oddly afterwards. My observations were simply that it seemed a little odd and unusual, but if you think my comments about him in particular should not be in my post, then by all means please remove them since I obviously do not have the ability to do it myself.



but either way, the poor guy didn't look well.


I also gave him credit for finishing the race, which is probably more than I could have done on a 3 wheeler that day, and in fact, I got spanked in my race there by guy on a Hodaka 100 that only had 5 inches of suspension, but fortunately there are no photos of that. :lol:



but at least he finished.

[barnett468]

Barns, was that guy’s clutch slipping excessively?

Which guys clutch?

[bkm]

Which guys clutch?I think he's referring to the Milner Factory sponsored machine.

[barnett468]

Cool videos, thanks for sharing Barn! :beer

No prob...except that I had to download 35 separate short videos to make it, lol. I actually filmed the entire race from that corner, so that video shows every time someone came by. Obviously that location wasn't all that exciting to watch them from which is why I also posted the youtube link to the guys in the race that had gopro helmets on. If you watch the first video in the link you can see some guy blatantly cut the course to pass a couple people after only a minute into the race. I guess he had an appointment to make afterwards, lol.

[yaegerb]

So those some close up photos. Did you happen to catch his name? Or did you have the telephoto lens on? I think I can see the name of the camel back......

[bkm]

"Trick" suspension on that 350x?

[barnett468]

So those some close up photos. Did you happen to catch his name? Or did you have the telephoto lens on? I think I can see the name of the camel back......

No I don't know his name or know any of the 3 wheeler guys there, and didn't talk to any of them except for the guy with the superman cape whom I met there after meeting him on line on a motocross forum.

I took the photo of the 350x simply because i thought it was a cool bike just like i thought the selvy honda was. Most of the other bikes didn't stand out to me so i didn't take photos of many others.

No. I don’t call out avid Enthooooseyests, just asking a question.

[El Camexican]

I can see why you’d be attracted to that 350X, it has even more spray paint on it than the last SUV you sold.

[yaegerb]

No. I don’t call out avid Enthooooseyests, just asking a question.

Except for the post you wrote then deleted.....I can see those too. You do that a lot by the way.

So have you ever raced in an actual atc event?

[Ranvier]

If you watch the first video in the link you can see some guy blatantly cut the course to pass a couple people after only a minute into the race. I guess he had an appointment to make afterwards, lol.

An appointment at the winners circle actually, he won.

[barnett468]

Dang it, if only I had thought about using that technique 40 years ago, it would have made passing people soooo much easier. https://www.mustang.org.au/forum/Smileys/smilies/burnout.gif

I don't always use spray paint on a vehicle, but when I do, I use Krylon....and only paint them after I'm completely sauced.

You guys really need to invade Cuba properly and get you some of this.

I just can't help myself, i had to revive this thread from the dead. Barnett, you cheeky trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotr ailpro, this is the greatest troll job I've ever seen. As an extremely petty person, I love the fact that you traveled to a race incognito ( I'm picturing a fake mustache and dark sunglasses) to take pics and video of the legend in his own mind, Oscar Mayer. Barnett, I don't know where you are or if you'll ever see this, but great job man. If we ever cross paths I will buy you a beer

That is funny. I just happened to look at this site for the first time in a couple months, which Mike said his cyber stalkers will probably try to verify because it somehow makes them happy, and saw this post. I am at his place now helping him unload a bike because he smashed some ribs while practicing at Elsinore last week. Here is his reply which he refused to post directly himself because he told me that the 3ww "authorities" won't let him, lol.

"LMFAO...gone but not forgotten. This is hilarious.

As I mentioned earlier, I originally had no idea that was "The Great Wiener" himself, but if I had known, my comments would likely have been slightly more "colorful". :lol: Unfortunately for some here, they learned about The Great Wiener the hard way.

Anyway, thanks for bringing this post back. I had forgotten all about it, and it brings back some very amusing memories for me! I have never laughed as hard elsewhere as I have on this site. https://forum.mustang.org.au/Smileys/smilies/santa.gif

PS - I'm not dead just yet!"

Barns you cheeky trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotr ailpro......where art thou?

This place is sleepy with boring 200X builds.

I need a police KZ Barns......hook a brother up

[El Camexican]

Bust ribs from practicing at Elsinore? Barns??? Na, he’s too good of a rider for that to have happened. Sounds more like an auto-erotic mishap of some sort.

From Mike

"Hi Knappy, I would have been more than happy to "hook you up" until I found out that you are buying the bikes I want. https://forum.mustang.org.au/Smileys/smilies/hysterical.gif

Actually, as far as the KZ police bikes go, I have only seen 3 out of around 300 police bikes, so they are as rare as hen's teeth. The crown vic pi's dried up over a year ago, and if there is one at an auction now and it is nice, you would need to refi your house to buy it. All the honda police bikes are gone now as well, and all the cali departments are buying bmw's, so that is all that will be available from them in the future. Some of the highway patrol divisions have harleys, but they told me they send them to their main headquarters in northern cal when they are done with them.

I am soooo lucky to have ridden that wave as long as it lasted, and I had to switch gears around a year ago and get into something else, so I am now buying and selling various types of street bikes, but no sport bikes. I look for ones that have low miles and are clean but need tires and batteries and the carbs rebuilt and have a ton of back fees etc, because i can deal with all that, and there are fewer buyers for them, and they are often priced reasonably, or the seller is willing to deal. I have sold around 10 bikes in just the last 90 days, and probably over 50 in the last year. I still have around 22 bikes at the moment.

I also bought some late model dirt bikes to rent out, and also offer rider training, but I need to get my business name to appear on google when people do a search for "dirt bike rental" etc, to be able to get a lot more business, but I really like doing that because it is soooo easy, lol.

Anyway, glad you are doing well, and if you ever decide to dump that old beat up red chevy you have, I might take it off your hands for you!

"I wish it was caused from inappropriately using some sort of electric pleasure device, or from plugging a magic fingers bed into a 220 socket to try to "enhance" the vibration, but yup, I slammed myself into the ground...BUT WAIT...I have an excuse, (in addition to the fact that I'm lame)!

It happened 2 Sundays ago. I went over one jump several times during one session, then I stopped riding that track for around 30 minutes. When I went back onto that track, I stupidly did not take my usual sight lap, because I didn't think the track had changed that much in that short amount of time, but I was friggen WRONG. During my first session on that track, the landing after that jump was moist and tacky, and one had to slam on the brakes hard immediately upon landing so as to not over shoot the turn. Well, when I went out the second time, the track in that spot was dry as a bone and hard as a rock with a dark blue groove that had a very light coating of sand on it, so when I slammed on the front brake, the bars instantly went full lock and it high sided me extremely hard over the bars, but I will live to do something else stupid once again.

I was hoping to be able to race this Sunday and went out last Sunday to see if I could ride, and I came back in after slowly going a whopping 100 feet on the track, and my ribs aren't any better yet, which is really no surprise to me...duh, but I just had to try cuz I am so fkng pissed off at myself for being so fkng stupid, lol."

On a side note, what did you ever do with the Tri Z engine you made look so killer?

[El Camexican]

Full of oil and collecting dust. Gets turned over every month or two.
