that's so absolutely ridiculous that he made the worlds most powerful 1000cc bike ever, and he MADE the freaking components, absolutely ridiculous. best man ever.

I love the part where the rider tells John that he was only using 3/4 of the throttle and when the rider did the wheelie next to the Ducati..

I met him at the Isle of Man TT and saw his race bikes in action there - they were something else. He was truly one of a kind.

those bikes are one of few that i DREAM over, but in all odds are one of few, ill never own. But nice to have dreams, Eh?

Fabricating almost all the components to build something as powerful as that is an amazing feat. A great watch. Thanks for the link!

power to weight ratio of 1.8 pounds per horsepower. absolutely ridiculous.
