AND it's in good taste

..AND I've got a great arse.......................he he

Well I see this tasteful thread went down the toilet...

Glad to see you on a running bike Octane. Congrats on the two records this year at Bonneville! Was the above at Speed Week 2011 or BUB 2011?

Jim

From the looks of the pickup and bike,and being shot in black and white I would guess Speedweek around 1964.

Murph of "Wherethehellismurph" blogosphere fame just posted some pretty darned amazing pics from BUB and was kind enough to grant permission for me to repost the odd one and link here. As a busy man, despite a landracing.com log-in, alas he doesn't have the time. If you haven't checked out his travelogue blog, you can find it here: http://www.wherethehellismurph.blogspot.com/

Thanks Murph. I wish you safe travels.

SharpFang, the aerial view was a Rick Byrnes photo taken - oh - about 3 - 4 years ago, I think.  I have it on our personal website - and don't have the date appended thereto, but it's about that age.  I think others here will be ble to give you more information.  I know one of "us" reports that the group of vehicles at the 3 mile or so includes him picking up pieces after a windshield (I think it was) incident.  If he remembers that -- he might remember the date.

"Spike," a creation by owner, craftsman and coachbuilder Shinya Kimura of Chabott Engineering. Bike 1188 at in line at the start of course #4, Speed Week 2011. Shot 13th August 2011 by Jim Kelsall on a Canon PowerShot G10.


Shinya ready for the off with assistance from N. Start of course #4, Speed Week 2011. Shot 13th August 2011 by Jim Kelsall on a Canon PowerShot G10.

Mr. Kimura's creations are really something to behold in real life. You could study them for hours and not see all of the intricate design details. http://www.chabottengineering.com/

This roadster drove by our pits during the sunrise, Speedweek 2010.

The pictures should be somewhat artistic (in the beholder's eye) and in good taste...

This pic is artistic simply because it's in black and white.
Anything in black and white IS artictic...ha ha.

AND it's in good taste








..AND I've got a great arse.......................he he

I thought I recognised that photo!!
