That's Brian Johnson in the near lane - I used to race against Brian back in the late 1970's. That was a VERY nicely turned out bike. The old 'Imperial Wizard' bike.

I forget the name of the person in the background. That was a VERY fast Triumph - that bike ran in the 10's...

thats the 70s-early 80s look im going after,back when bikes looked like bikes !if youve got some old racing pictures throw em upthere jeff!

I've lots of pictures of me... does that count?

I do have a few pictures in some old phone albums - I don't even know where my wife has squirreled those things away - I'll have to search...

as long as youre on a bike and wearingclothes stick em up there!:laugh:

seen this one for sale recently...

that first picture you put up plummen is what i'll look like in about 5 month's minus the turbo but maybe with some giggle gas instead. i checked the compression on it the other day 275psi across the board if i can keep head gaskets in it she might have some potential the next thing i have to work on is an et reduction plan for myself 215lbs is too heavy to be fast. i'm putting it on the dyno in the next month so hopefully i can break 200 horse with some tweekin.

ol blue has been a favorite of mine for years! i think im going to build a small motor like a 1015 turbo first to work the bugs out of the new chassis/turbo combination to make sure i can get it to hook up and go straight.i might experiment with a little nitrous and the fuel injection on the small motor,that way if i melt something down its not a major amount of money lost in a big motor.ive got everything sitting here for the big one once everything else is sorted out though! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: i wonder how much boost a 10.25:1 1015 can take before it breaks?:laugh:

Maybe something like this would be fast enough!

A few from my files...

Couple more...
