Title: Farm Visit
Post by: Irish in Oz on Friday, 28 August 2020, 01:32 AM
This morning I was invited to a shed visit to see some old motorcycles, there was plenty of those usual boring RD, GS, Z1, Velo, TZ etc.
But an almost finished project was uncovered for me to view.

Other interesting stuff was the original McCandless jig for the featherbed frame and the project to try to beat Bert Munro's record.

I just realised the land speed motorcycle (if you can call it that) the pvc prototype frame is hanging up behind the KB1.
The monster was in the shed next door, it was only used in trials on a local airfield apparently got to speeds of 152mph.

But does he have a mint factory original GSX1400? If not then his collection is incomplete.
