The meaning of life is not going to be found on a piece of paper written by someone else and hidden under a rock.  We only find it by giving meaning to life from inside ourselves.

Great story.  Great photos.  And a real decent accomplishment.

I'm flying up to see Brett in a few days for the purposes of writing a story....all I can say is it's gonna be funny seeing his reaction when I tell him about this post...I might have to take the taser. :roll:

When I spoke to a mate who'd been on the phone to him he said that Brett was currently setting up the molds to cast some new carbies.....yes, you heard that right..... setting up the molds to cast some new CARBURETORS....

Gday landracers this is my first post.This Brett Destoop is a funky mother f***er he has single handedly brought back the 1970's. 232mph on a 40 odd year old bike that had top speed of 104mph and 14.1sec quarter mile according to cycle world 1973 test on GT 750 J using nothing but crap lying round the shed is totally hilarious.I am sure you would all love this guy and his shed,there is even a couple of my bikes laying around there that brett nicked the wheels off my RGV to put on his waterbottle salt flat racer.

So, KillaRR -- where are you?  We can sorta assume you're in the Aussie part of the world -- but please tell us so we know more about you.  When you registered for the Forum you were offered a personal items page -- and we like knowing as much as we can about the folks on the Forum -- so please consider letting us know where you are, maybe how old you are, and even (gasp) a real name.  My posts are listed as from Seldom Seen Slim -- but my full "real" name is given, too.

Whatever you decide to do -- welcome to the Forum.  Did Brett give your wheels back to you?

im in sydney near brett,im his best mate,and one of two of his friends who get to listen to brett chat to us for hours on a regular basis about,saltflat racing,2 strokes,aero dynamics,reed valves,casting barrels,the list goes on and on.
oh and the wheels he used i just found out are back on my little RGV and he has some other wheels on the waterbottle now.
I keep some of my bike stuff in his shed,although i dont race on saltflats,i am intersted in all motorsport and in engineering,and brett has the most complete knowledge and understanding of these topics out of anyone i have ever met.
Years ago i learnt to ride on bretts bikes and a long term addiction to riding developed,and i have a passion for stuntriding,which brett is amused at the culture behind and the desire to,wheelie ,burnout,and stoppie a motorcycle,and not try to ride at 230 MPH lol

Hey peoples ,Killa ain't exagerating, not a bit.Simon and I had a great time out there.there seems to be about 15 or so complete waterbottles there and who knows how many dismantled motors ....Brett is , as Killa says, in posession of a bewildering knowledge and understanding of the 2 stroke.....if we were talking about bicycles here most everyone would be putting streamers in the end of the handlebars and pegging pieces of cardboard in the spokes whereas Brettie is building a better bike....time after time I felt like I had been smashed in the head with information.....looking at his casting rig and hearing him talk about his consolidation of the process to streamline and improve the process was just plain astonishing..........good bloke too.
