yeah, i called them utterly outraged and insisting they change their name. i told them, after the laughter died down, i would not be buying one after all. i (really) was told the founder (?) was of scot descent. so, ya know it's gonna be top shelf stuff.  ;D

actually, this bike design was conceived with f1 technology in mind. it's been on hold i think for a couple of years now.   

those swede bikes are spectacular!! and i got the street tracker jones.

just found out about these guys. their site had a few builds in progress so this was really the only one i saw worth a post. like the non-brake in front!

I'm just posting to this thread so it comes up on my replies list.  Otherwise I forget to look and I miss lots of cool stuff.

I don't really have anything useful or clever to say.  Out.

love those!! fender and air cleaner on the blue is something else! and the yellow is a very unique take on the tracker theme! check out the disk on the trans!

neither seat looks inviting though.
