Honda drag bike pictures?
« on: October 29, 2013, 10:13:25 pm »
Is anyone sitting on a stack of old or current Honda drag bike pictures?  I'm betting I'm not the only one that would like to see a few. I'm interested in all of them but especially Honda frame bikes.
No matter how many times you paint over a shadow, it's still there.
If you love it, set it free, if it stays it's probably one of my 750's.

I think my wheelie bar brackets looked like Retro's bike. I need to re-create them.  Awesome pics. I like Magnamans number plate.

One of my former apprentices came by this week. He was racing a 750 powered mini sprint car. He had a bunch of hilborn injectors and racing engines but sold it all for 10% of what he had invested. Jeez.

OK, so its not an I-4, its not an actual race but its a honda in motion. I have to admit, it gets my smile factor up every time I watch it...

I rarely get the opportunity to contribute to this segment of the forum, but did have this pic. Not the greatest pic, it's an old Kodachrome 35mm scan from 1977.

Hey Bob, where did you get that picture of the triple engine bike? Is it the Russ Collins' bike?

To be honest, I have no idea. I still remember the Milan strip pics but this one not so much. Therefore I suspect it's one I just came across and saved.

That's the A.T.S.F.  If anyone is unaware, this bike and the Sorcerer are being restored with the help of forum members.  Here's the link:  http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=99452.0
