This has a "Don't bother to open the garage door, I'm just going to go through it," kinda of a feel to it.

And this one is for everyone else:



Here is the info:

In 1979, ‘Mike The Bike‘ Hailwood swung his leg over a Ducati 900 NCR and won the Isle of Man TT. It was a legendary performance, and NCR has honored the 30th anniversary by producing a stunning replica based on the Ducati Sport 1000. This superlight racer weighs just 136kg, with the titanium frame accounting for only 5kg (11lbs) of that. The exhaust system is also titanium, while the bodywork and wheels are carbon fiber. Power comes from a new NCR 1120cc race engine producing 130hp, over 40hp more than Hailwood’s race-winning machine. Just twelve of these replicas will be built, at a cost of €100,000 ($136,000) each, and they’ll be delivered in six weeks time during the 2009 Isle of Man TT festival.

This bike is a honda concept that got a lot of good feedback form consumers, but never went to production. I believe it is at least 5 or 6 years old.

1949 Moto Major 350 -  I think the same year the SCTA had their first official meet at Bonneville. I love full fairing bikes & belly tank cars. I WILL run at Bonneville before I give up the ghost.

yeah, i was just reading in some street rodder mag or something about a guy going out for the first time in his car, and he noted how slippery it is. renews your respect for those who make the run.



ok, i can hear havoc already giving me the business. this should be in the drag race thread.

can do that too. ::)

btw boxnife thanx for the info.
