I think it was Pontiac in the 60's that drilled the frames of their Super Stock drag racers; thought I remember reading of the fallacy of that idea. Maybe just a tale but I've seen pix of the frames and it's believable.

Still couldn't keep up with the MOPARs.  ;D

Yes, that's a Chevy 350. Yes, it looks like it'll tear my face off just looking at it.

More info at Jalopnik. Holy Jesus, that looks scary.  :o

Awesome, thanks! Dig those pipes! Cool mix of influences... and shore is different! I don't know if it's my personal style but the creativity and detail are to be admired. I like the lil' cafe seat better than the saddle I think.

RE: image 5: I don't doubt she(?) needs a can of beer to entice people anywhere near that thing! (ouch)

Looks like someone threw darts at her and wherever they landed is where a tattoo went. :-\

Yeah, I've been in awe of this, and other car/bike offspring. Better pix than what I got!

I like this one; mix of tracker & bobber.

Boxed in tubing spike.... takes an assload of time to do.... and lots of grinding. But looks cool as #$%* when you are done.

That's pretty good Ben, is that stock?  I wonder what it'll make when you're done tuning and modding?  Honda has the CBR125 (not in the US yet...if ever) it's a water cooled, catalysed exhaust, fuel injected single, with a six speed that makes....as I've read.....22hp.  not too shabby for a 125 with plenty of aftermarket support.
We just don't see or hear about most of the really good bikes here in the US, so you're one up on many of us already.

It make 13.6hp@10 000rpm  and 7.8ft/tq at 8 000rpm.I bought the motorcycle guide 2009 from Bertrand Gahel  ;D
