Hopefully I'm not re-posting these...Bobbers aren't usually my thing, but I thought these were kinda sweet.

HT, this is Lorcan on the drag bike Storm, a few teething problems but will be a fast bike when sorted, it runs 2 turbos.

Sam.

That's not your typical twin turbo either.... it runs a smaller turbo to get things going and further down the line a HUGE turbo to make the real power.

I am absolutely in love with this bike.

Yes Sam I know Lorcan from the 750Turbo site. It's where I found all my inspiration for mine when I was digging it out of a back shed to restore it to it's former glory.

His bike is beautiful.

Sigh..... Now I want mine back.

Ecosse · « **Reply #2231 on:** July 02, 2009, 10:45:04 am »

if that ain't inspiration i don't know what is.

that kawasaki looks stock if ya squint... a whole lot!

this first one has been an inspiration to me; i'd love to build something along these lines someday- i love everything about this one. the member's name escapes me.

and this speaks to my pathological fixation for the egli-type spine frame. lean little bike.

this is just cool. freddie spencer is 'da man'. superbikes back when...

HT, Lorcan was the first person to offer condolences when I melted the piston at the record attempt.
He spent quite a while explaning where I could get custom pistons made while at the same time looking over the front end of my little Honda.
The night after, he was on the phone wanting me to measure the RSs front forks.
He was wanting to know if a set of RS Honda forks would fit his Quack to get it lighter and lower

In respect of the Storm, Lorc is only the rider. The motor is down to a guy named Mick Hand.
In the early to mid 70s, mick turned the drag world on its head.
The fastest bikes in the UK were still in the low 9s when Mick joined the 9 second set with a blown nitro burning 250 Honda twin called Little David. He allmost beat everyone to the 8s with a very low 9 in 350 trim but as you well know, that honor fell to Lorcans Dad Keith.

Sam.

Mick Hand is an engine God. Or one of them at least.

Sickening fast stuff.

Flying J · « **Reply #2235 on:** July 02, 2009, 02:32:06 pm »

Im not a drag racer. That being said, what is the tie strap on the front wheel for? To keep the wheel from turning when it does a wheelie?

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #2236 on:** July 02, 2009, 03:06:35 pm »

It's to get the front end lower.

Sam.

Ecosse · « **Reply #2237 on:** July 02, 2009, 04:09:26 pm »

i remember something in my drag (car) chassis books about not wanting the front suspension to drop as weight is transferred rearward off the line. that's what i was thinking here.

Ecosse, that woman is going to get bugs down her shirt. It's a good thing she has a helmet to keep them out of her face though.

i know this is bike inspiration but i can't deny my car roots.

may i humbly suggest that a darker red than on this 750 might look better with straight white.

That's 736cc if you like the way it looks you should hear it run.
