Sorry that you have to sell this one Gary.
The right enthusiast with money should at least mount a piece of glass on it and use it as an end table (JP, Gordon, others).
Piece of art in my book; what's the fastest it's been on and off the bottle?

Props to Rick for NOT buying it and sticking with his old, worn out ride; curious to see how fast his bike will go by season's end. Also wondering when FBR horsepower will appear on his bike!

This bike has Chris Ritchie written all over it.
BAM - instant 9's - done; course he will want to build his dream himself (and so long as he feels up to it, it is a guarantee)

Such a shame you have to sell it in a down economy; seems like a fantastic bargain especially since it has known history and is a complete bike at approx $6,250.

Have you ever taken it down the track and if so how fast?
Love your twin engined bike for many reasons but wonder if it can run as quick as this one.

You're probably right John; once they put more than 1 motor in the same frame I get confused :banghead

no no no
i have 3 drag bikes :oops:
n01 is the bike i purchased from Bill Baxter 4 years back that i have run 9.1 @147mph on :D

no2 is the Jerry collier ex bike which has ran 8.03 with NOS it at the moment is a rolling bike that needs assembling loads of new bits to bolt together if i had plenty of time i would do it but i am not giving it away it cost me £4k and that was cheap it cost £35k to develop , it runs kz gearbox with h2 top end grafted onto it

no3 is the triple triple [rainbow chaser] that was built in holland by Joop Portogues it is in one piece but needs complete recomissioning , the plan is to just do demo runs on her

i also have a h1c to finish for someone and my h2a special i am building for SPA next year :D

and you thought RB was greedy :lol: :lol:
