Russ Collins talks about the A T & SF
« on: December 29, 2024, 08:55:45 AM »
I stumbled across this magazine the other day. An interesting read from Russ Collins himself and his take on the bike. Also fitting that the bike is back together now.

  A legend in his own time. I was honored when Russ Jr. commented on the Rat Race's picture on facebook. Steve, the previous owner bought the RC parts in person at the shop. That must have been really cool.

 I've often wondered where the twin engine drag bikes ended up. There were a few as I remember. I got a lot of pictures of the V&H double in the NHRA Museum a few years ago.

One of the twins is at the Hill Country Motorcycle Museum.
I've seen it!
