Hi Sam

I'm pretty sure it was he (Mel Nolan) I remember at Elvington many moons ago having a crack at 200mph on probably the same turbo CB750 in the picture, although it's been repainted since. I think he managed around 195mph if the brain cell is fully functional. ;D

Cheers
Eric

You got it Eric, probably the fastest single engined SOHC that wasn't a top fuel drag bike. 8)
I need to see if we can get him on here, I've been looking for a way of contacting him for some time.

It's been a few months but I've just had an email from Mel explaning that he did try to get on the forum.
I've replied to him explaning how to do it but you guys will have to tell him where he went wrong trying to post pictures.
Do we have to have so many post before we can post pics? I know they do on some forums.

This one really is worth waiting for. 8)

Cool looking bike Sam. I presume that's nitrous at the back, and not Boddingtons ?
