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

That's pretty amazing. :o 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.
