Walter, you're welcome to park it in the Kevlar Kompound at CD5. And that monster Yamaha Metisse of yours. They'll fit in with the Kevlar theme for this year. We owe you a Margarita too after the stuff up at CD4. ........The shocks are on the way too by the way.

A pic of the watercooled in action. Two stroke twin , 142 BHP . Some call it beautyfull power and some could never come to grips with that power . The feeling is like riding a very very big Yamaha Banjee.
Endless power if you combine the head with your wrist.If not , you just sit there and spin.

these are pretty wild machines. they remind me of a few pics of hill climb solo bikes ive seen. they use 2X 500/550 KTM engines linked together but instead of side by side they have one behind the other. they look amazing. ive also seen a CR 1000 which is 2 CR 500 engines linked togther. those americans are crazy! plus they got all the road bike engine powered hill climb bikes too.

i had to get a nice 750 Triumph Wasp going last week, i should of took some photos of it for on here. i reckon i would have some in some archives somewhere though. theres a photo of it a ADB magazine in around 94 if anyone wants to go hunting.

30 years is a long topic and I am sure would bore the rest of the soloriders.
 PS And when you done the promised laps at CD 5 , you might reconsider LOL

I did have until last year , and then sold it to Europe.  I will send you a pic of it

Wasp, any idea if Crazy kept his air cooled EML Jumbo ? and if memory serves me correctly didn't they use Suzuki RM 465 or 500 pistons?

When the german sidecar riders came out to Australia at Warrnambool sidecar meeting only, their was two bikes with 750cc single engine in them, these engines where specially built for sidecar racing in Europe. l was amazed of the the size, at the time, he told me that they cost 10,000 dollars, and their is a fellow in South Australia that racers one.
