I didnt liked the look with the open hood at the top! To stop the hot air from being sucked in i removed some of the engine sheet metal to let the air flow from underneath, hope this helps :)
Kim was not actually a great rider,, but He could think outside the Box,, all the other's behind Ago working like ants to polish a Turd, and Kim leapfrogged over them all. RiP Mate
Incredible bike, congratulations, and what a legend Kim Newcombe was. Only criticism is that I would have loved to hear the 'music' of the bike itself in action, such a rare sound.
I always loved this unconventional motorcycle, I mostly know of it from Mick Walker's Classic Racing Motorcycle book series. It's great to see it in motion. Motorcyclists have always been a bit different from the crowd, and to be a standout amongst them is special to me. Putting a car engine in a bike is cool, but a boat engine is next level! Another engine out of context bike, the Tularis was built by Dr. Rob Tuluie and associates in Minneapolis, Minnesota a while back. It was powered with a Polaris snowmobile engine and Ducati transmission. It had fine handling and was very fast. I got to play a small part in this adventure helping out in the pits on occasion. Thanks for sharing and for reading my rambling comments.
