[QUOTE="Kansas Bad Man, post: 50328, member: 778"] In 1955 my dad took me to a m/c race at Dodge City Kansas. It was a 3 day event , road racing, drag racing and other filled the card. A guy rode in on a vin, if I recall from California. He had some straight pipes and bits strapped to the bike, in about hour or so a pile of bike parts lay by the vin, head light, fenders, battery, foot pegs , generator an other things I couldn't recognize. With those straight pipes, he lit the fuse, boy what a treat , that bad boy rattled the earth and woke the dead. He went on that day and laid waste to the competitors. the drags was his. I don't remember the ETs or speeds, I do remember the sounds and that trail of white smoke bellowing off the tire of that very fast and powerful vin. From then on there was no magazine article that would sway my opinion, that day I said, I WANT one of those. [/QUOTE]
