Be careful hanging around with Bill.  He's been known to take intentional headers off scooters and even suffer broken bones just to get out of having to work.  8)

These are from this afternoon after the bikes were unloaded from the truck.  I posted them in the other thread but didn't realize there were 2 threads about their trip.

I think Bill said he was going to keep at least one of the complete automatic bikes. I'm surely hoping he can sell the remaining,complete dragbikes to members who will actually race them instead of turning them into  dust collecting, conversation pieces. We need to keep these dragbikes doing what they were originally built to do and keep the SOHC leg and alive in the publics eye and not stored away in some dark garage for the viewing pleasure of a single set of eyes.

Several ideas....................A traveling show of sorts with the RC bikes................a separate class run-off event..........a display at the Barber Vintage Motorcycle Festival............a feature article in MOTORCYCLE CLASSICS magazine and/or the VJMC magazine...........maybe a movie documentary similar to the HOG-SLAYER flick.
