Right now, it's a russian SO bike, to race in the vintage motorcycle class. It's a pretty cool piece, only 500 ever made, has a 500cc single cylinder with hemispherical head.
Still gathering parts for his belly tank that will be converted to run as a streamliner. It'll have two turbo'd 2.5 mitsubishi engines. If you guys were at the salt last year, you might have seen his belly tank driving around, it's the first ever, street legal tank. I'll try to post a pic.

A Harley rider had a bad crash at about half track. Didn't want to post about it until I found out if he was OK. He is out of intensive care, and should be OK.

A photographer caught it, look at half down the page:

Wow , glad he is ok . Thanks for posting Pat .

That was one hell of a crash to see .

 

[Fat_Robi]

Did you get the fuel leak figured out?

 

[Kat]

Yes, and no. We are still trying to figure out why it happened, so until then, Pat is going to wait until he has all the info before coming to a conclusion.
