In Depth look at Tyler Malinky's 1950 Dual Engine Triumph Land Speed Racer at Mama Tried 2022

This video is brought to you by: www.lowbrowcust... & / gearedscience
Take a in-depth look at CEO and owner of Lowbrow Customs Tyler Malinky and his newest creation, a 1950 Dual Engine Triumph Land Speed Racer. Tyler worked with Dutch Engineering and Fiorucci Fabrications on this build and it was real a team effort. There was also help from a few other friends too, The Gasbox, Lc Fabrications and Kerry Sayre.
Tyler hit what would have been a record setting run of a 154 mph in 2021 on the Bonneville salt flats but ended up wrecking. In an instant all of that hard work, building this bike for over 2 years was ruined. Tyler came out unsaved with just some bruises but the bike looked thrashed. The bike had to be completely torn down and re-built from the ground up, replace every nut and bolt. In the end luckily there was minimum damage to the actual bike and with a few remade parts the bike came back together faster than ever and is ready for a new season of racing. In this video Tyler walks you through the bike and talks about the very complex design and engineering thoughts that went behind every nook and cranny. He also talks about how the wreck, what happened, and how he's going to fix it. We bet you are wondering how can two engines run together? Don't worry, Tyler shares some of his secrets on how it all works as well.
Not shown in this video is the new front end that was engineered to fit this bike and has already been installed. Tyler hopes to take home a new SCTA Land Speed World Record for his class later this year.

Thanks Jim! The engineering and problem solving is the fun part... plus the racing lol

[@irishguyjg_2ndchancerecovery]

Go back and watch his runs out on the salt flats. You'll come away with a NEW appreciation for Tyler and his machines. He COULD of died in that last run out with his brother, THAK GOD he was ok

[@pauliebots]

Really enjoyed that. Whatever happened to the triumph in your documentary where you guys were at bonneville and you almost broke the record? Great show. (With Wes)

[@lowbrowcustoms]

That is The Salt Ghost. It is currently at Wes White's shop in California but we are about to have it shipped out to Lowbrow so we can show it off around the midwest! For those who haven't seen it, you can see The Salt Ghost documentary, full length, on KZbin here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGXZq5KJgZysm9U

[@pauliebots]

@@lowbrowcustoms I've watched that several times..one of the best shows I've seen. Any plans on another? Shows like Harbor town bobber and Philly throttle were great. Wasn't Salt Ghost Too in the works?

[@janzienkiewicz5295]

Great interview: Are you racing it this year? Really hope so 👌

[@lowbrowcustoms]

Yes, planning on racing at Loring, Maine, and then potentially Bonneville World of Speed or World Finals in September... we shall see, planning now and prepping the bike!

[@stevebeschakis9775]

nice ergs. who's your chiropractor?

[@lowbrowcustoms]

Yoga, lol

[@savoie0721]

Sounds like Tyler lost his voice? pre-party must have been on point! haha!

[@lowbrowcustoms]

Lol yeah.. lost my voice af the pre party haha.. It was a tough weekend to get through with a fading voice!

[@tomohawk2760]

She's a dandy. Keep the wire tight. Cheers lowbrow

[@bernardspillane5948]

wowww, btw; buell wheels, i have a fortythree mm showa front end for me sixtysix xlch, but the rim is so heavy, low budget, and wonder if i can remove some material from the three 'spoke; mag,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[@bchase8257]

A used cbr 1000 would leave that heavy piece of crap in the dust... What is the point in making something that is worthless? I have gone 212 mph on a cbr 954, and I am wondering what kind of record did he break by going over 150?

[@237KMT]

You didn't build your own Honda CBR 1000. That's the point.

[@lowbrowcustoms]

LOL! This is a scratch built 1950 Triumph, dual engine. Each engine put out about 35 horsepower at the crank when brand new. This is an antiquated design, a pushrod engine, it does not compare to a CBR 1000. Yes, you can go get a CBR 1000 and go faster, but that isn't anything special. The record that currently stands at 151.1mph at Bonneville is for A-VG 1350cc. That is Special Construction (aka race only, that is what the A is for) Vintage (pre-1956) Gas (gasoline, as opposed to methanol or nitro methane) and 1350cc (displacement, adding displacement of both engines together). Currently held by a dual-engine Indian Scout, a ways back it was held by a Harley Davidson Knucklehead I believe and was around 130mph record. Speeds at Bonneville are set at high altitude, for long distance (elapsed time over a flying mile, not bumping the needle off of a number) and accurate (OEM speedos are not accurate, especially at high speeds). It's the pursuit of fun and excitement. We are out there having a good time.

[@lowbrowcustoms]

@@237KMT :) Yep. I built the engines myself in my home garage. It makes it feel EXTRA good to go really fast with them.

[@roninbutterfield6623]

@B Chase. Built not bought. Your comments are that of just another consumer. Enjoy your mediocracy.
