Good morning Buster, what does BDTM stand for?

BDTM is BDT Motorsports aka Bad Dog Toys Motorsports. I have known and worked with Rob Selvy since 1985, we are very good friends, and now BDTM has brought Rob into the BDTM fold. Rob and I, along with the very talented crew at BDTM are working on Kawi 200CC, 250CC and Open engines, carbs and pipes as well as Honda 200R, 250R and Open CC engines. Most of these are destined for Ashtabula 2013 to be riding by a few Pro riders, some are For Sale as limited NOS Selvy WURKS engines like we did back in the day.

Kenny Roberts (KR Pipes), the man himself, the Hand Cone master pipe builder is also part of BDTM, and will be making all the WURKS Sonic3 Hand Coned pipes (BDTM exclusively) for the ATC200CC, 250CC and Open WURKS engines for both the ATC & TRX line. The BDTM-Sonic Selvy Pipes will all be Hand Made, hand rolled and Fusion Welded WURKS pipes made by Kenny, Rob and myself (FYI...Kenny made all the Sonic3 WURKS pipes back in the day at Selvy Performance).

The BDTM-Selvy crew has been hard at work on Andy's 200R, Rob (the man, legend, ect...)has been overseeing and fine tuning the 200R build, along with Chris (our Honda Mechanic), and our master Tool Maker Carlos Sr. This will be one fast and authentic Selvy WURKS Honda 200R...I just buy the beer

Don't be encouraging them, I'm next in line :-) Rob has been overly helpful almost. Really, I feel like I'm holding him back as I'm not as available to talk as I think he would like. I think you are making me look bad because you are super excited when you talk to him, and I don't think my excitement comes across on the phone.

I think some of these pictures are posted over at TRX.net....?? Cool stuff.

Here's a couple pics of Rob doing some porting.

That is simply awesome....rob selvy doing work on your motor....I would frame some of those pictures...

Thanks for the directions, I found the pics. Not positive, but best bets are mine are the crank pics and the "Sonic 1" cylinder as from what Rob has said. I hadn't heard about the other "Wurks" cylinder they were working on.

[Buster Brown]

Here are some pics of the WURKS 200R pipe Kenny Roberts is building. A true work of art in my opinion. I'd like to have a few more to hang on the walls of our living room. The trike it's mounted on is for mock up at the shop.

WOW,Andy, That Pipe Is AWESOME, Love It...

I am so happy to see your former boss Rob and co workers coming back to help and work for you Carlos. I am also glad to see you and the older staff not retired but motivated to revive the classic 250r. Keep up the good work Carlos.

[j4duncanr]

are those handconed pipes going to be made for sell to general public? it would compliment for selvy cylinder nicely.

[stroberts22]

Are you serious about this museum piece getting beat on at astabula? Man, IMO it's to nice to do that to it.

[Buster Brown]

J4,
Yes ,Rob/Kenny will be building pipes for many two stroke applications upon order. I know they will be doing ATC & TRX 250Rs in the very near future. I think all pipes will be by request order as each is about 40 hours or labor, but please check with them at their shop for sure.

strobert,
No I'm not 100% sure about racing it...?? I'll bring it to the event regardless to pit (display) with the BDTM/SELVY crew. I'm hoping one of the former Selvy racers like #63 Freddie Conover will be in attendance and give it a spin for us to watch. I'm no racer, and wouldn't do it nor Rob justice. I'm just a wanta be!

EDIT: Unfortunately, due to my wife having a major surgery, I won't be attending the Ashtabula event. Maybe another year....

[BWard]

mmmm,mmm,mmm, I would Love to have one of those pipes, Just 1

Rob called today with the sound of a very healthy running 200R in the background!

Here's some photos he's sent over the last week or so. The carb is highly modified and took around 4 hours of machining (WURKS Sonic 37.75mm) The pipe is also completed. Here are a couple happy builders.... and I can imagine why. The whole package is breathtaking if I may say so. Needless to say the rolling chassis is now the weaker link on finish quality. I can't wait! Thanks Rob, Kenny, & crew!

I gotta tell ya, I just sent in some work to Carlos. Sent him my counterbalancer and waterpump and bought a few odds and ends. This guy is a class act. He talked with me for an hour one night and it was very late for him. They are backed up 8 weeks getting ready for Ashtabula, plus working on customers bikes and he still worked me in and had my work done in 1 day. I will be doing all of my business with BDT from here on out. Their quality is first class and their services is impeccable. I certainly hope BDTM is around for the long haul as they have a customer for life with me.
