Board Track Bandits

So back in the 20's and 30's Board Track Racing was THE motor-sport of the time. Wire wheeled, oil leaking motorcycles zipped around a track built on rough cut 2x4s. The guys who ran these puppies wore leather helmets and wool sweaters. They were men. No, not like us, I mean men. The sport basically died (excuse the pun) out after a series of fatal accidents that plagued the sport in the early 30's, including a single race where 2 riders and 4 young spectators died. Needless to say, the sport was too dangerous for our fair country.

So, in an effort to pay homage to the sport, and save mother earth at the same time, a handful of companies and private builders are turning old bicycles into fuel efficient motobikes.
