Thanks, Bob!
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.. :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
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.
great find and that is one beautiful machine.

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? :thumb:
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.
