See, these Dutch fellows. A man in socks and sandals, yet he's made something quite stunning. ... Most odd! :-\

Good job though. :y

I had a big poster on my bedroom wall of the CBX1000 about 1981. My dad's mate had one and I remember it being a Giant's motorbike  ;D Obviously seen a number of them since then, the huge wall of an engine also made the from wheel look like a pushbike....
The one in this link I have to say is something I would actually buy myself. For me it sounded nicer too with the baffles in :y

Anyone remember the Rick James CBX engined lowrider that won Kent in the early 90s? He was from round our way and I saw it at a little local show once (aswell as in AWOL magazine) proper piece of workmanship.

Even the standard bike has a huge presence with the width of that 6 pot engine, very impressive, want one even though I'm not particularly into bikes!

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.

Funny you say that... One evening my mates were outside the local countryside pub waiting for me to arrive, pint in hand. They had listened to me arriving since coming off the M1. 4 miles away. Then I started to be accused of being a 'chicken' ??? How did they know? Because they knew exactly where I was on the road with the rise and fall of the revs, and gear changes...  With the help of a friendly copper mate, I managed about 3 years after selling her to find out who now had her. Wrote to him enclosing a pic from when I had her, but simply got my letter back with ' posted overseas ' on the envelope...  :(
The famous Harris brothers took a long look at her when I went to order my Harris Magnum and said: ' Can't work! That frame just can't work'.... It DID...  ;) But I do admit the Harris frame was great...
