Performance Times

    One of the many racers who will be attending the BUB Motorcycle Speed Trials this August is Jimbo Fischer. This is a pretty cool story so we’ll let Jimbo tell it in his own words.

    Next up for our Salt & Speed racer profile, we have a letter to share from a veteran racer, Tom Anderson, who will be at BUB Speed Trials this August.  Here's what "Santa" had to say.

    The countdown to the 2012 BUB Speed Trails at the Bonneville salt flats, has started.  To kick things off, we have a few racers who are attending with S&S go-fast parts that we wanted to make mention of.

    S&S Cycle's Engineering Manger, Jeff Bailey has been busy.  Not only is his plate full with his tasks here at S&S HQ, but he's also determined to break some records. We've talked about his Bonneville run here before and now he's at it again. Here's what Jeff had to say about his recent activity:...

    Last week at the BUB International Motorcycle Speed Trials at the Bonneville salt flats, there was much to see.

    S&S recently received this email from George Bryce of Star Racing in Americus, Georgia. Star Racing is an S&S Dealer, and has been a leader in NHRA ProStock competion for years. They also do extreme high performance work for customers all over the world. It’s very good to see them expanding their...

    S&S Cycle's Engineering Manager, Jeff Bailey, just came back from Bonneville, attending the "World of Speed" meet and had brought his own custom built bike to put to the salf flats.  Not only did he come back safely, but he came back with a new speed record!

    Let's face it - stock motorcycles aren't very exciting for performance. For some people stock is OK, for others improved power and performance matters big time! That's why S&S Cycle has been so successful in the high performance aftermarket business for over 50 years. There are enough riders who...
