Keeps your knees warm !

What next............. a RR Merlin in sidecar outfit or trike................now that'd get away with torque steer,

I think there's a big brushless motor inside the crank cover, a LIPO in every cylinder and an engine noise coming from the speaker cunningly hidden behind the headlight grill.

How's about this guy?! he created the German cartoon films Werner, and i think he has designed two or three bikes and made them, but this was a cartoon that he made into reality. plus he is from Hamburg! good old Hamburg! http://bikearama.com/blog/chainsaw-motorbike/

I miss going to the races, the vids can't give a true impression, feeling the sound of the motors in your chest,

and no smell, burning rubber, and the fuel, petrol, oil smells ahhh.....

Patrick Henry · « **Reply #15 on:** December 02, 2011, 07:24:27 pm »

Same as that...I used to go to the Pod and Camberly regularly, but it's years now since I last went. Keep promising myself I'll go this year...and this year turns into next year...ad infinitum.

One day...

A sure sign we are getting old, not a single comment on the rider LOL. Mick B.

Patrick Henry · « **Reply #17 on:** December 03, 2011, 09:12:10 am »

Usual answer to that, I guess...seen one, seen 'em all. But machinery is always different...

tobyker · « **Reply #18 on:** December 03, 2011, 08:48:01 pm »

I still remember the commentator's words before they started the AA fuellers at Blackbushe - "Do not adjust your mind - there is a fault in reality".

Hi U33 you are not looking hard enough, what was it I said again about old age, ?. Mick B.
