This little beauty was spied outside the Skunk Werks at CMW ..... Hmmmmm - It doesn't look like an ORDINARY C5 ....... The boys may be up to something again!

Cool!, I like the bars.
On the eighth day God created the C5, and it was better looking than anything on the planet.

  And of course Scooter Bob had nothing to do with it, right?

Why such a narrow ramp?

Since I am going to win that C5 in 9 days time, I have to ask, did the 19" front rim require wrenching on the mud guard?

Cool!  They're giving away two of them now?  I'm winning one as well!   :P

Gentle Modification Techniques were used. Nothing larger than a three-pound sledgehammer or any bigger than a #2 cutting tip on the oxy-acetylene torch was used - Hahahaha!! It's pretty much a drop fit ......   ::)

A 19 for the front will be my next project, has to be better.

Well, Br. Scoot, the term awesome might just be an understatement... and, due to my curious nature, I have the two following questions:

1. Any chance of getting a true profile spy shot of Frankie?
2. Is a 19" rear tire in the Skunkworks Plan, also?


A very Merry Christmas and a Very Joyous and Prosperous New Year!
Long live the Bullets and those who ride them!

Hello everyone, I think that is the classic 350 which has 19" front wheel and is a carburetor fuel system and the handle bar looks like the same we get here in India on the C500 and  350.

Brother Juan - Hold that thought on the pic - I'll see if I can break into Hangar 13 again and not get caught ..... As for the 19" baloney on the rear - no plans as of yet - although I heard that someone at CMW was just losing their minds over the wide open space over the rear tyre. Aesthetics, you know .... stay tuned! (BTW - there might even be a higher compression forged piston for the UCE being tested - one can't tell whether it's THAT - or a .50 caliber machine gun popping .... you never know what's going on in Hangar 13 THESE days ....  ::) )

Br. Scoot, I thank you for your response, which I simply love and, naturally, deserves a huge...

WOWZAA, BABY!!!
