That is simply art on wheels. It looks like the cases and stuff are all sand cast and I can only imagine what it sounds like.

I will guess that it probably goes faster than those double leading shoe front brakes can slow it down. It's still very cool! :cool:

Hey, dammit. They need to get a crapload more smileys installed. :eek:

Thanks for the kind words. You have to start a new forum off right. The engine is all sand cast and the front brake is an old 4 LS from a Suzuki. It holds records at Bonneville and El Mirage. And if you want to hear what it sound like heres a link. jmbKDIKDKFo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmbKDIKDKFo)

Mod edit: I enabled youTube video imbedding. Tag is [youtube] and of course the closing tag [/youtube.... I'll make a sticky on how.

What a beautiful 60 norton and 46 BSA,
I have always wanted to run at the salt flats .

You guys look like you are really having fun !:D

Every time I see the movie "The Fastest Indian" i just get all filled with joy and the feeling of having a meaning in life !

When i saw this post and your movie clip it made me think of that movie .

I have to admit it gives me a reason to breathe. Its a lot of fun and it doesn't cost a fortune. Better not as I don't have a fortune. You're in AZ so its not that far to Bonneville. Or you could zip over to El mirage here in Cal. The first El Mirage meet of the year is May 17-18. Come on over for a visit. You'll meet the friendliest people in the world and see some great cars and bikes. Whereabouts are you in AZ?

My shop is in Gilbert , and i live on the border of Aphache Junction and east Mesa.

I used to road race at the old Riverside in Cal out there where you are at, I really liked the Riverside area ,

Gilbert and Mesa are so overgrown now it is just a mess .

If you think you're area is messed up you need to come back hee for a visit. Sunnymead is now called Moreno Valley (Gangland East, Shoot'em Up City, etc.). The raceway is a mall (Just what we need in SoCal) that I refuse to set foot in. And Riverside has been swallowed up by the growth of L.A. El Mirage dry lake is about the only bit of sanity left.
