Are you talking about the one in the background of this picture??

check this page out.............

.........if so I might have more pictures.  I'm pretty sure it is the one that was built in New Zealand, but I'm sure Bak would have all the details.

If it is that one I might have more pictures,

Willie might be looking for John Stege's(sp) bike. There was a bunch of controversy following his record runs at WoS.

If it is the one in the back ground that is Craig's liner and it should be at Bub this year with a fully enclose canopy. His name is peglegcraig on this site.

In that case -- I think Dan's correct in saying that it was John Stege's bike.  I don't remember much about it in detail - but know he was surprised as all get out when it went as fast as it did.
