friday’s post of cool stuff #25

KA-BLAMMO!™

One day I saw a killer two-stroke drag bike on Chopper Dave’s site and after two seconds on Google to see where he got it, I found this killer link to a bunch of old school Performance Machine photos. I saved some killer metric drag racers. Thought I’d share a couple of them:

The window says “world’s fastest Harley” but the bike is obviously not a Harley, unless they made an inline-four I don’t know of. Yeah. Looks like a supercharged Kawasaki.

Okey dokey, folks. Here’s your not-so-daily vintage motorbike. As you know, I like J.A. Prestwich motors, especially their v-twins, but their speedway motors were hardcore winners. Here’s a *** two-valve 498cc thumper, probably from the late 1940’s or early 1950’s.

Hope everybody had a great Friday. Thanks for visiting.
