Third vid down, 20 seconds in.
Have a look at the bike in the background, I think they've put a supercharger on it

impressive!

hope he fits some air filters as those forward facing bellmoths will swallow insects and small birds.

That's who he is.

On your knees, unworthy ones.

Amazing really - wish I had that level of skill. Love the sound, the throttle works the wrong way round (video 2) doesn't it? Not sure about the instantly decapitating alloy flyscreen though!

Envy them that weather

I noticed that, though it was probably the soundtrack being a bit out of sync.

I did that once, though, on an old Honda 250 G5 I turned into a cafe racer.
Fitted Amal 32mm carbs left over from a Bonnie project and made up a throttle cable, only had a ball nipple instead of a barrel one when I made it up.

It wore and started to pull through on the "pull" side of the twistgrip, so as a temporary get-me-to-the-pub-tonight bodge I plopped it into the "push" side and worked the throttle the opposite way.

Sort of got used to it; it stayed in for a few weeks.

Stopped me mates asking for a go, though!
