Will My Flat Tracker GS550 Start?! First Try Since Sitting For A Few Years. Moto Mondy #2 I think...

Moto Monday:
In this exciting episode, follow along as we attempt to fire up our classic GS550 Flat Tracker.
Flat track racing emerged as a thrilling motorsport discipline in the early 20th century, gaining immense popularity across the United States. With its roots deeply embedded in dirt oval circuits, flat track racing captivated audiences with adrenaline-fueled action and fierce competition.
During the 1970s, flat track racing experienced a golden age, marked by iconic bikes, legendary riders, and electrifying races. It was a time when innovation and passion collided on the track, producing some of the most memorable moments in motorcycling history.
Now, fast forward to the present day, where we find ourselves embarking on our own journey with a vintage GS550 Flat Tracker. While many enthusiasts opt to build café racers for their classic motorcycles, we've chosen the path less traveled by embracing the raw and rugged allure of flat track racing.
But the burning question remains: Will our Flat Tracker GS550 start? Join us as we crank the engine and uncover the answer together. Along the way, we'll share insights into our build process, highlighting the unique features and modifications that make our Flat Tracker stand out from the crowd.

I added a vintage filter to the entire video for "nostalgia"

As someone who is in AMT school right now *and* rebuilding a 1969 BSA Scrambler, I’m glad the aviation/motorcycle cultural overlap is as real as I thought.

[@brycebuildsit]

Very much so. I know several A&Ps that love cars and motorcycles as much as I do. Also, my dad raced motocross on a BSA when he was a young man. I don't know what specific model, though, as this would have been the late 60s and 70's

Wow, l had a 78 GS550,Red, exact same bike,back in late 90's..until someone did a u-turn right in front of me, it hurt, it never went again so l moved it on..good little run-about bike.

[@brycebuildsit]

I'm glad you were ok. The gs is sitting for right now until I have the time to really get it going again. But I am just happy I have a motorcycle again. I never fell right when I don't have 1

I survived it with no medical care, l broke my neck & spine crush fracture, and who knows if anything else, where l was hauled towards the gutter flipping backwards and hit gutter real hard, backflipped me again into a steel fence..the moment l tried moving l collapsed..to this day l've been refused even x-rays, didnt walk for 12months, and taught myself to walk again, l can run, lift anything but its like russian roulette, my neck and spine are screwed bad..l block most of it out..mind over matter. Medical miracles, l've performed a few of them..lol That's a highly collectable bike now.
