Two 07 Bullets and other old Brit Bikes.

just the other day I was thinking I should have kept the engine out of our old twin turbo Subaru wagon, that car screamed, though in Kenya where we had it you could not get decent fuel for it and the roads were too bad to drive fast...I was thinking more in terms of putting it in an old bug. Don't know if I'd be brave enough to really grab the throttle on this...

There's nothing quite like an attractive bike with clean, simple lines...



I must retreat to my place of Zen and meditate on this.

How do like your shins cooked? Medium or well-done?

That's interesting, in a Mad Max sort of way.

  Actually think it was constructed by Dr. Frankenstein in a later experiment.  Bet the butt dyno gets a work out when you open the turbo.

Oh yeah, that's the Subaru Iron Wing, which inspired Honda to bring out their similar line of two wheeled cars.

And its all yours for 2000 pounds, truly a bargian for such an amazing machine!

I think it would look way better if he added some ace parts, swap out that radiator for and ace oil cooler....reduce that cross section a bit ;D
