Nice pics though.

Unless you`ve heard a Harley drag bike rev, its hard to beleive how hard they sound & go. Methinks that blow up might cost almost as much as a Ducati valve job!

It is clear from the picture the "open fire" version of the drag bike was alway's sure to cause some problems, but never the less amusing to watch, a favourite for the scorched eyebrow/face/chest club

You'll fit in well on here.

I prefer the Aga version personally. Not as fast off the line grant you, but it gently warms the whole body and cooks your dinner while you are doing a 2 hour quarter mile.

Oh and while we're on the subject of warmth.....as is the custom on here I'll allow you to buy me an ice cold lager while you're at the virtual bar.

Mmmmmm...that was nice. Ta very much.
