Interesting, and sounds lovely.

I gave up on VD a while back as it got rather silly - therevcounter is a big improvement.

I don't partake in their discussions, recent post expressing sympathy for a guy doing 109 mph in a 50 zone and openly attacking anyone who thought he got what was coming sort of sums VD up.  Not the sort of riders I want ot be associated with.. :?

Impressive engineering I suppose, but thats about it, still, each to their own, I personally didnt think much of the exhaust note, a Jota or Montjuic  with the proper cans takes some beating. still, to my 50 odd year old ears anyway, "what d'ya say, Im a bit mutton"  :lol:

I don't care how ridiculous/impractical those things are. It's fantastic that they are out there and that people build them.

SECOND best. First best would involve the Forth Road bridge, a steering malfunction, and high speed.

I thought a v10 Viper in a bike was mad

Isn't that the guy who builds amazing specials?

If it's the same guy he's built a Honda SS100, that's the moped with another cylinder stuck on it.
A Kawasaki 12 cylinder 2600cc, that's two Z1300s siamesed together

And the one I liked best, a FIVE cylinder two stroke, based on the Kawasaki triples of the seveties and eighties.

Best of all the look amazingly standard, you really do a double take when you count the exhausts.

Oh he said the reason for the Viper bike was Dodge selling theirs with the owners having to sign to say they would never ride them.

That one he intends to take round Europe next summer.

Yes there was an article in Classic Bike. Does all his work in a small garage, mostly with hand tools, which is very impressive.
