That Vincent single.. has a very Ducati jellybeanish looking tank on it.. :o

 Talked to a guy today, about Krugger winning the Builders World Championship.. he said when  he realized he was in the top few. he quickly put on a Tshirt from the Canadian builders shop... said he got a lot of Inspiration from him....

 pretty cool  thing to do...IMO..


 just remember.. Inspiration comes from many sources...

 It stays up just fine. You can see the pivot in front of the trailer, it allows up and down movement. Ahead of that under the rack is the pivot, that allows, left and right movement.

 You know how some sportbikes when bored do the tire-warming back and forth in thier lane? He was doing that , a few times just to show how good it handles... :o

 The owner is a buddy of  Old Scrambler's.. we were all at Bub Speed Trials last year. then rode to the Bonneville GP, in tooele..

oh, cool.  
    In the pic, it looked like a bungee cord was all that was holding it on there.
EDIT: I see now that the mount is big and chrome.
