That last picture of Randy on the bike. Randy contacted me about trying to do some editing, on those photos. I added some of the writing to the last photos for him. I think that I have a couple more, somewhere. Randy is a cool guy, we talked on the phone a couple of times. They didn't run the bike much last year because of the Texas heat wave. The owner Pat, is building a newer faster version.....
The head of that bike, was built on his coffee table.

The bike has two sets of foot pegs. He starts off on the rear set...As the bike wheelies, he steps onto the front set. I know a few things about the bike that were cool, I can't say without his permission. It is a street bike, with insurance and the whole 9 yards.

Randy has a fleet of turbo suzuki, drag bikes. Here's a picture of him on a suz.

I asked Randy for more pictures. He said that he would look? Randy said, when there is a hot Babe in the crowd, he can keep it on the back wheel alot further.

Pat and Randy have been friends for years. Pat gave Randy his start, as a Z1 rider. And the rest is history.

I was very happy to meet him. The photos I had to work with, were small, old and not very good. All I wanted was one good image, just one. I would of made a wall size poster.
