Showing The Love

Make sure you all show our sponsors some love. We have had some great companies and personalities partner up with us on this project and we couldn't do what we are doing without the level of support we are getting. Not to mention the people who have been buying the Can's O' Fuel and getting their name on the posters. So check out the links to the right here featuring our partners, we know, trust and regularly work with them. You should too.

Can Of Fuel

If you are interested in supporting the team on the salt in Bonneville and getting down the track then here is your chance. Next time your in at Trillion Industries, throw in your $50 for a can of fuel or race fuel (before August 23rd) to show your backing Derek and the team. We will make sure you get a signed 8x10" metallic print of the bike on the salt as a thank you.

Greg is always a great supporter of what we do and it has been a pleasure knowing him throughout the years. Greg stopped by the shop today for a few minutes to see the bike and what Derek has been up to. Looking forward to sporting our new Nicholson Bros. shirts on the salt. Make sure you check out Greg at the link to the right and show him some love.

33 And Counting

Thats right racing and motorcycle fans!! 33 days, 19 hours until we leave for Wendover Nevada for this years BUB Speed Trials. We are very excited and stressed obviously as it is coming up fast and we have some major building left to get the bike race-ready.

Some cool news though as far as the technical side goes. We are using a new computer for the bike and the company backing it is proving to make things far easier on us this year. We will be rolling them and our other partners out in the next few weeks as we gear up for the trip.

Another technical aspect to mention is the fact that this year we know we are in a position to benchmark a new record in class and the challenges we had last year of a half-finished bike are behind us. Many aspects where tested last year and we are ready to get down to business and finish out with return runs.

Stay tuned here for news and information how you can help us out and be a part of the history of this project.

Gear Up | Calgary Salt Flats Racer

Well it's only February and Derek is already getting geared up for this years BUB Speed Trials at the Bonneville Slat Flats. There is a lot of changes for the bike as last season we learned a lot. Time to establish some records and really make some noise with Raquel. Ask Derek how you can be a part of this years records and please continue to support the great things that are happening at Trillion Industries.

World Of Wheels | Calgary Customs

Two things!! First of all make sure you get down to the World Of Wheels in Calgary this weekend where Derek will be showing off the LSR Triumph with some new parts and ideas. Derek will be at the Calgary Bonneville Racing group section with all the other Salt fanatics.

And second, I finally had a chance to put together some of the footage I shot last summer at our 2012 record attempt. Some real gems in here, you can see some of the pain we went through yet all the time the guys had good attitudes. And Derek is himself...enjoy
