They actually competed in the AMA Superbike championship, but lasted just about as long as the BMWs, but at least Reg Pridmore won the first year's championship on a BMW. That was the last (and only) successful shaftie in superbike. The XS1100 won an endurance race or two, but was heavy as hell compared to the Hondas and Suzukis, and was very quickly non-competitive. This is an article on a chain drive conversion bike that was faster, but never raced here.

And I though cheese heads were crazy for having an open stadium and watching football in blizzards!:laugh:
There have obviously been some hi performance upgrades if it goes 70+. A stock Metro went 0-60 in 3 tries on level ground.:wink2:
It's ugly as sin, but a lot better executed and finished than 95% of the VW jobs I've ever seen!

If that's the HEAVIER FORK, what the hell was on it before?
 
I wish that geo where like $300. I'd own it.

Another ad preserved :D
