Yer wouldn't wanna live next door to him
SO WHEN DOES THIS OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER KICK IN
Re: VTR with turbo
I'll keep me standard one for scratching, but is it wrong I've a pole in me pants for that turbo one - it'd certainly turn heads
Re: VTR with turbo
Nah sorry whilst I admire the work thats gone into it... God thats fugly !
From a practical point of veiw how the hell you gonna ride it ?
You'd need asbestos pants with the exhaust routing on the right.
As soon as you hit the brakes your gonna slide up the tank...
It'll handle like shite with that rake on the forks...
It'll probably spend it's life in the back of a van being taken to shows...
In that last clip with the young lady on it...it sounds like a 2-stoke moped...
At the end of the day a waste of a good motor...
I do hope he's done the CCT's though...
All my own opinion of course...if it floats your boat...best get a good life jacket.

Sounds like he's done them and left them loose, either that or he lost a tambourine in there!MacV2 wrote:I do hope he's done the CCT's though...

Re: VTR with turbo
not to mention that turbo is hideously over sized. ... about the same size we use 7l engines.....
Re: VTR with turbo
I love the tidy design of the plumbing. That said, I hate the "ass in the air" look of the bike. I was wondering what the effect would be if that open, forward facing, turbo ate one of our Texas grasshoppers. They are everywhere this time of year.

Re: VTR with turbo
Wow!
Now thats a bit of a beastie I wouldn't want one of those in the face at speed. I think I'd definitely be in a full face lid regardless of the temperature.
So what's your secret Jim? Spill the beans. What hand cream do you use?

Those are lovely hands but alas not mine! I lost my soft girly hands ages ago. At first glance I thought those were a woman's hands but now I am not so sure.
Years ago, I worked for a company that made banking products, check sorting equipment and related software. There were four British lads working in the paddock next to me doing development work. I say paddock because we didn't have offices or even those fake cubical walls. Our space was defined by book shelves and desks and such. One day I looked up and all four were looking over my book case at something in the floor. I followed their gaze and saw a cricket crawling across the floor. I have to admit that they are pretty impressive but we get used to them (except in the really bad years when they eat all the leaves off the trees and climb the wall of the house in mass.) I looked up and said "what's the matter? Don't you guys have crickets in England?" One replied, "that's nought a cricket. It's a great bloody DRAGON that!"
These things jump but they can also half fly. They will hit you on the road and at speed they really hurt. They also make a yellow goo when they splat and it's hard to get off a fairing or a helmet.
