Flux Capacitors are the answer and I have them for sale with a special discount for the "Speed Challenged". :wink:

When Jack was younger he sold "snake oil" from the back of a covered wagon I'm told  :evil:. Glen was there and saw the whole thing  :-o ,

He wonders why I never took him as a partner.
The "Snake Oil" was free as is the advice around here.
The profit was in the "Pay as You Go" comfort stations that were place for the best exposure.
Bonneville had bushes in the early days but they cut into the profit margin so we killed them by salting the soil.
We still have a little more to do at El Mirage but the market is smaller so to is the investment. :wink:

Has anyone looked  the K1 BMW from times gone by???

It was recognised as 1 of the most aerodynamic bikes off the shelf , ...proven in a wind tunnel rather than just say so.

Need to look at the front fender as a part of an integral aero package not just a standalone item.

Is the K1 front fender design still offered ?
Wind tunnels and real life are closer than many think as has been cited here, but styling sells most stuff.:wink:
