My taste is conservative as has been shown but once in a while the radical tickles my fancy. This is Angus McPhails brilliant "Jade Warrior" from the mid 80s. Still haven't anything to beat it.

Hoof, that thing is awesome! I can't even imagine how fun that would be, especially a measly inch or two off the ground.

Thanks for posting that!

Hoof - +1 on the Jade warrior! It would feel fast at 20 mph.

Crazy

Thanks for posting Hoof that is the craziest thing I have seen in a long time!!!

Glad you enjoyed it. It was the basis of my original idea for the LSR sidecar but wheel size rules and speed rating for tires put paid to the idea. Shame it would have been cool.

Hey, if that local guy's replica looks anything like this, I'm going to have to see it in person. Was he a regular in the group?

I have also had a real moto boner for the old Duc singles for a loooong time.

No, not a regular, but his biked looked just like that one. I think he was a regular out at Buffalo Jump in Gateway, though... It is pretty hard to miss it!

Likewise. Had a shot at a 450 bevel drive. Should have bought it.

HMMmmmm.....Moto-Boner......

That is one of those perfectly descriptive terms.
Why hasn't anyone used that for a screen name? ;D

Funny you should say. I know of one of those dirt bikes up above here^^.

Guy wants IMO way to much but if your that interested... let me know (look at where I live first).

I'm crazy about Rickman builds, especially what they did with the Enfield Interceptor:
