Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

This guy set some land speed records with his V-8 bikes.
From what I've read this is his first V-8 bike.
Note the "whizzer" fuel tank.
Starting would be an interesting exercise...

Drag to start seems the most viable way. Kick start? Not so much.

Can't tell if he's wearing a "kidney belt" - a popular vintage accessory in the days of hard tail bikes. SW

Looks like a possibility on the belt- just by the size of the buckle.
I really needed one of those at work at times...
