Not being a bike family Joanie sent me this picture. The builder does NOT belong to either of our families. This is real vintage, like Fred Flintstone.

I am expected to have something funny to say , but I am just the straight man for the MC rule book author.
That bike is the famous Sidewinder's project bike of the future with no future.
The rider was to have been featured but he is curled up on the floor in the back
 of the Short Bus and says "People are picking on me".:wink: .

What happens when one can't weld, you do it another way. At least it could be used for fire wood at a cold Oct. lakes meet,

The additional fire proofing measures under development in SCTA
are clearly indicated by the bike design of their future. :wink:

This could lead to a whole new category of bikes with some open records!

Seem's to fit the rule book. Lets see, light, horn, shocks on sprung wheels... And if it won't pass tech you just grab the saw, a couple 2x4's & some screws...
Splinters could be a worry at speed though...

Could be a true case of "whittling away at the record."

The wood looks suspiciously new to qualify as vintage.  Also I have my doubts that the frame and engine manufacturer are one and the same.   Maybe it should run in comp coupe seeing that its wooden.

It calls for nuts on the lag bolts.
I think I see a pattern but dems da rules.
If the rider was in the shot, you would see why they call him the "PAN HEAD". :wink:
