| Bmw Motorcycle Id like to give a lot of credit to my Bonneville crew chief Kevin Carr and the rest of the staff in the service department at SJBMW. Everyone put in a super effort. |
| Bmw Detroit San Jose BMWs Land Speed Record program started in 1999 with the completion of the first version of the Salty Dog. Bmw Motorcycle. Guided by SJBMW owner and legendary tuner Chris Hodgson Willies dad the service department team spent their spare time and weekends putting together the bike for the 2000 season. |
| Bmw Middlesex The engine was built up from a set of 1978 R100 cases fitted with the famous Long Rod conversion specially designed SJBMW 1000 cc pistons oversize SJBMW Stainless Steel valves a custom camshaft Mikuni flatslide carbs and topped with a specially ported set of SJBMW heads. At each and every step of the way as the engine went together the SJBMW team learned more and went further than they had ever gone before with a BMW oilhead twin. Bmw Detroit. The chassis was based on an R100 center section fitted with a custom aluminum subframe a Paralever rear swingarm from an R1100GS the gearset from an R1200C Cruiser and a K12RS rear wheel. |
| Bmw Orlando The front end was sourced from a GSXR 1100 with a lightweight 3spoke wheel. At Bonneville in September of 2000 SJBMWs Jeremy Freeman rode the Salty Dog to not one but two class records. Bmw Middlesex. In the MPSPG class (Modified partial streamlinedpushrod gas) he set a record of 154. |
| Bmw Fort Worth 432 mph and a best run of 156. Bmw Motorcycle. 531 mph topping the old record of 150. |
| Bmw Baltimore Smith on a Harley by over 4 mph. The Dog was clearly a runner. Bmw Motorcycle. Willie Hodgson made his first runs at Bonneville in 2004 and returned in 2005 to set his first record in MPSPG with a solid twoway average over 155 mph. |
| Bmw Part Willie notes It was a big thrill but I knew we could go a lot faster. Bmw Motorcycle. As soon as we got back we started thinking about how to get there next year. |
| Bmw Sacramento The SJBMW tech team tore the whole bike apart and started from scratch putting it back together with an eye for detail and the benefit of everything theyd learned in five years on the salt. With an altitude of 4800 ft and unique weather Bonneville is an environment thats hard to simulate. Bmw Motorcycle. Countless details were considered and improved jetting revised timing adjusted and aero tweaked. |
| Bmw San Antonio A stronger 1150 GS Adventure clutch was fitted to a heavier flywheel. As a final touch 3 complete rear wheel and tire assemblies were made up each with a different outside diameter to provide for final gearing options. Everything ready and good to go Willie and Kevin headed for Bonneville Speed Week 2006. Bmw Motorcycle. It was a great week. |
| Bmw Of Austin, Bmw Las Vegas On the first set of runs Tuesday Willie flew to a new record of 162. Bmw Motorcycle. 3 mph and topped that on Thursday with another record of 164. Bmw Middlesex. 11 and a best oneway run of 164. Bmw Orlando. Thats fast for a BMW pushrod twin but not fast enough for SJBMW and Willie Hodgson who reflects with a grin and a wink Id like to see 170 next year and I think I know where to find it. Bmw Motorcycle. Well be back next year and Im confident we can set another record! |
