The first thing that comes to mind with that image is Meatloaf’s “Bat Outta Hell” album cover…

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

First thing I thought of was what would it be like to do a u-turn on a 2 lane road on it.

Back in 1976/77 when I saw that picture,  what came to mind then was the song Rocketman..
I started talking with the guys out back about what to do to my stock single motored CB750 to get some more giddy up. And so the build began to feed the Need for Speed!
