Someone should tell her to kiss her glasses goodbye when her head slams him in the back.

What a great pic Ecosse. Where do you find all these cool old biker pics? Your google-fu must be at a high level

Ram Jet powered. The leaf blower was used to start it. LOUD !!! Wife and I saw this at a vintage bike show at the Gilmore Museum vintage bike show. When he started it up and ran it across the back of the grounds you could hear it over the din of all the other bikes coming in and moving around. And yes those are bicycle pedals.

More from Gilmore. A Rokon 2 wheel drive. Looked kind of wierd to handle when he drove around.

A BSA Lightning with a CB750 front end.

A twin engine BSA. When it was started, I figured it would shake twice as hard as one engine, but it ran pretty smooth as BSA's go.

E.J. Potter AKA "The Michigan Madman" had these 2 bikes on display. They are small block Chevy powered. The bike in the back is named "The Widowmaker". The one closest to the camera is direct drive. He would rev it up and his assistant would push the bike off the stand and away he went.

scunny · « **Reply #2567 on:** July 29, 2009, 10:36:21 pm »

did someone say V8

Ecosse, the second pic says Derbi, good chance it is..
first pic, I say Royal Enfield FLYING Flea...
built like a gun, I bet.

I know nothing about futuristic bikes on Tron, only the pic I saw here.

I do know they used a few Ducatis in the flick, and /or what looked like Dicatis in the stunts..

Come visit and we can show you..

The Ram jet bike, You would think the guy would maybe run a real early Schwinn springer, not that tin latestyle cheapo..

Ecosse · « **Reply #2569 on:** July 30, 2009, 09:48:57 am »

754, as usual thanks for that info. i'm unedumacated about the derbis, have to fix that.

scunny, i'm real rusty but is that a rover/buick?

Ecosse · « **Reply #2570 on:** July 30, 2009, 10:10:12 am »

great thread

May I ask, who's bike is this??? I'd like to know if the fairing, tank, and seat are currently available, and if so, where. I want my 400F track bike to look like THAT. wow.....

Thanks,
Craig
