[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Damn thing looks fairly bloody uncomfortable.

...you gonna be signing up for one? {g}

Nope. I'm saving all my eggs to buy that Fire-Engine Red Pinto Woody wagon from my Father-in-Law. I'm fixing to rip out the four cylinder and shoehorn a Borchardt 409 into the engine compartment. Drop in a 9" rear end, tub the wheel wells so I can get the 36" Monster blackwalls in there and I'll have a ride to make Ed Roth turn in his grave . . .

After I hit the lottery . . .

I know EXACTLY where you're coming from. That pic of Rollie Free...some people have no point of reference to know just how on the edge that was/is. At least your Z1 handled better than a MachIII.I know where one of those 2-stroke 750's sits just waiting for a new owner. There was a beefier front end on a Suzuki TS50 Gaucho.

I've taken my Triumph up to about 120 but the chin of the helmet was being pushed down on the gas tank HARD. Pretty good for a bike coming up upon its 40th birthday. Been on a GSXR 750 at 150 and the really bad thing is how it felt like 100mph.

Maybe the best thing about having no fairing is that it keeps you from rocket speeds. I very rarely will do over 80mph and that's on a very open, straight and empty road with little chance of traffic....still, nail a small animal at speed and you're just as dead.

Jack; Do you bike all the way to Florida ?

[uglybiker]

How does one arrange to get a stint at Bonneville? Maybe they won't let them....

Get in touch with these fine folks:

WOW!

[technomage]

Looks like something out of the movie Tron.

You can always go the retro route;-)

Don't remember all the details on this one 'cept is was built from vintage AF/X parts (then came a couple blowers and things started to get a bit strange).

At least this way when someone asks in that crackly, whiny voice: "Is it got a hemi in it?"

You can say: "Hell yeah!"

[BraveMan]

Beautiful!

Gotta love that "Old School" look . . .

[sheik yerbouty]

For street use it needs "training wheels" at stoplights.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Harley ?

[Aquinasfan]

The lawsuit alleges that the Quattro violates Gillette’s patent for "progressive blade geometry" technology used in Gillette’s three-bladed Mach 3.

LOL! Too funny. $750 million to develop triple-blade technology? I would have designed it for half of that 8-)

[blackie]

Ya can't have too much horse power. :-/

[uglybiker]

Too much horsepower is just enough!

Sold my last bike a decade ago. 850 Norton, a lovely machine, but antique in many ways.
