Don't know if Sam ever shared this video

 Long time friend of Sam's. I had the pleasure of hanging with Pete several times when I visited Sam in England. Got to see Two Faced up close.

Go 1:30 of this one......a bit more successful

Pete did build a Hayabusa for Land Speed. He made all the OEM looking bodywork out of aluminum....really great stuff.

Pete has never been Honda powered Steve.
In the early days after the bike in the videos, he built a drag bike with 3 Triumph motors and one with 3 Kawasaki motors.
He still has the old double along with the Busa that Mike mentioned and a Jet engined 3 wheeler but no Honda's.

Got it Sam, thanks.  I've seen the "Triple Triple" [two stroke] wicked Kawasaki bike but I dont think it is him.

No Steve, his Kawasaki never made it to the track. It was a big one with three Z1 1000cc motors.

Jet engined 3 wheeler is not a bad idea on a model without rear suspension. Possible future project.

I saw it too when Sam brought me to Pete's shop. LSR, missile shaped "bike". Looked like one of Don Vesco's projects

Pete is one cool guy, I had the pleasure of watching a dvd Sam borrowed me.
He was also mentioned in Bomber Magazine, there was an article about landspeed racing in UK.

Hi Juha, long time no see, haha.

Sadly there is no land speed, drag racing, or any other racing for Electric bikes or cars in the UK this year.

I'm not to sure about the TT in the IOM as Mugen are still talking about a three man team for their Electric bike in the TT.

How are you mate ?

Sam. ;)
