    Salt-flat racing in remote South Australia

    Hi guys

    A photostory here from The Weekend Australian Magazine about a guy who has transformed a 1973 GT750 into an amazing salt-falt racing machine

    Here's the link:

    That's pretty amazing. 373km/h from a bike powered by an engine of that vintage is some pretty impressive engineering!

    Way cool!

    One of the original team at Deus Ex Machina in Sydney had a salt flat racer that he'd keep in the showroom when not racing or modifying it. Was a very nice little bike.

    Another good short article about racing on Lake Gairdner here:
