Someone will likely pay that. Not me. Not only can I not afford it, it's too "pretty" for me. I'd rather see it stock.
I met Russ Collins once as well as Elmer Trett when I worked at Davis Engineering, probably met other pioneers but being a young guy I didn't realize their importance, I remember Wayne Davis being surprised I didn't know who Elmer Trett was[url=https://classicgoldwings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=172198#p172198:25lytg7f said:Fstsix » Tue Apr 19, 2016 7:42 pm[/url]":25lytg7f]

Awesome ! you never know when your talking to a Legend..was living working on a Fed job in Nweport News VA, on my way home on Jefferson blv i seen a Bike shop..Had a big NOS sticker on the window ..So i walked in to the showroom and needed some help to complete my Blower app i just installed. So at the counter talking with some guys and looked behind them i could see a nice shop with a Dragbike ? and then i look around and on a shelf around the whole room was Trophies ?

Kudo's to Kawasaki ! Was at Larry's shop in 2004 and he helped me with my fuel pump choice on my Supercharged GL, also purchased a Dyna 3000 ign from his friend , To date Larry is the Baddest of the food chain on his Inline 4 cylinder to date World record holder . > Ten Time Top Fuel AMA Motorcycle Drag Bike Champion Larry “Spiderman” McBride made it into the 2010 Guinness Book of Records. The U.S. drag racer went 245.36 mph for the official fastest quarter-mile on two wheels. McBride finished the 2009 campaign with four victories on the AMA Dragbike tour. "My highpoint took place at Atlanta Dragway in March," said McBride. "I lowered the AMA Dragbike elapsed-time record to 5.793." https://www.knfilters.com/news/news.aspx?id=2461

Russ Collins , I worked in Gardena Ca in the mid 1970's about a mile from his shop, I had a 1971 CB 750 Dragbike that had a couple of his parts on , Been to his shop and seen the Sorcerer, Russ was the first to design the 4-1 Header, And was TOP Fuel World Champ for 12 years , The bike in this video was in my mind ART- 2 -750/ 1000 cc RC Cobra motors paired together in a V with a Blower in the middle, First Blown Injected MC back then when Hardly and Triumph were dominating the strip . See Ya ! To Find my CBX Dragbike here in New England was a miracle to me so far from home with RC go fast parts , this CBX spent most it's life 1/4 mile at a time on the strip up hear and was a early 1980's setup with all the light weight Kosman Wire wheels Air Shifter, His staff was Vance & Hines ..No wonder they Blew every one away RIP Russ.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTk6msl2Nu4
