Freddy Spenser could appreciate that, I'm sure. I'm going to get the F1 engineer that lives at the end of my block to build me one of those come April 1. ;D

    Wow !!!! Too cool . . . Reminds me of the good ole daze of Euro 500cc roadracing. An american motocross company called ATK had a 500cc 2t up until about a year or two ago that I thought would make a great road bike if you could fabricate, but sadly, they recently went generic chinese 4t. Here is Kenny Roberts late 70's, 700cc 2t flattracker:  If I remember correctly, it was banned shortly after he started racing for some reason.

Man I want one of those, at least the motor. It's fun watching them hang those suckers out. There'd be mud in my britches after that, and not the mud from the track. :scared:

Yamaha needs to go back to that yellow and black scheme on their racing bikes. Back to when men were men... :riding:
Cool videos!

Gave me chills and the goose bumps when Kenny took off on that 750! He wasted no time "warming up". I like his style  |

yeah it was too fast reminds me of this video total class That vid brought a tear to my eye  Effin' awesome !! :cheers: Some of my funnest MC memories were short tracking in Hanover PA in the late 70's. I had a CR250 Elsinore and my friend had a Bultaco 200. Most of the stuff looked like this:  The events were too cool !! Everything was 2t, the smell of Klotz and Blendzall permeated the air . . . So thick you felt like piece of Kentucky Fried Chicken an hour into the event. The starts were absolutely nutz0 and the sparks flying of the steel shoes made it look even crazier. Even the ride home to the Philly area was cool . . . A convoy of jacked-up, airbrushed, loud-piped Vans goofing around through Hanover and talking trash to each other on CB's . . . Good times :rockon: Those guys could ride back then . . . The Camel Series riders, Roberts, Romero etc had to ride Road, shorttrack and Mile to get points in the series. They could throw the shiznat on any bike. :thumb: Oh well . . . Im rambling, sorry 'bout that ! :dunno: |

Roberts went on to be captain of the Proton Moto GP team in the 2000's but after many motors-sponsors problems and no wins he gave up. I think Nicky Hayden is sort of like Roberts. I like riders who can jump from bike to bike and shred stuff up !!  |
