I think you may have jumped the gun there Spikey. I was reading an article the other day on that bike and apparently he decided to go with the Red Bull theme as it was built for a Red Bull event. HOPEFULLY not a sign of things to come. It would be a damned shame to see that kind of talent follow the same road as OCC and the like.


Edit: found the article if anyone's interested

Must...have...these...rims...

They look like overgrown bicycle rims. Anyone know if they're custom or off-the-shelf?

These look like the new Harley chrome rims, only brushed. Not sure about the widths, though.  ::)  RR

Not that's a great picture j squared. Reminds me of two older sidecar racers when I was at it.

Hopefully that's the checkered flag lap.  ;D
