How long until the chopper builders come up with this?

Leo I read something about that bike and I think you are right. It was a CROCKER and back then I think it was one of the fastest bikes that could be bought. If you had one now they go over $100,000. From what I read he made more than one pass and then stripped down and made that pass. If I remember it was over 100 mph. Now with all the regulations you could never do that HAHA
GOOD OLD DAYS
CROCKER-AREAIL-VINCENT-and many many more.....

Planking is IN!!!

Why settle for just ONE big wheel?

Then again, why do wheels need to be shaped like hoops?

I had a feeling electric motors would get 'chopped'...

Well, I'm not sure. Wheelie? Stoppie?

How do you figure rake angle? Trail? Frame stretch? Is it bobbed?

Now, THIS has potential.

A 750cc is buried in there...
