Mick,

Is that a buddy of yours or were you at Willow?

The guy that owns it is a custom bike builder in the States, I don't know him at all.. ;)

Loota nice parts on that bike: Swing arm, rear shocks, yoshimura 4-1, yoshimura points cover.  What's that rear brake set up? Doesn't appear to be a stock SS (F-model) or is it just inverted caliper mount?

Not stock, I don't have a close enough picture to tell exactly what that caliper is... ;)

There's a Canadian sidecar team running there.  A lot of the sidecar practice has been cancelled though for weather. :(  Not good for newcomers.

Nobody said it was worthwhile.  It's just so damn absurd -- huge car light housing and no need hyperextended intake -- that the someone couldn't have been serious at all. It borders on Photoshop.
