The whine of a blower...

...is music to my ears.

Talk about an odd and cool twist of fate. This bike belongs to a guy who lives less than 2 miles away from me, and we had never even met until this summer. He's been collecting cool parts and building bikes for a long time. Currently this little beauty is his only ride, but we're going to help him get his turbo motor back together (it was built wrong by someone else a few years ago and he hasn't got it straightened out yet). This bike is a work of art, though. The Tracy body, borrowed from the turbo-bike, is extended to cover the +12 swingarm, the motor has the beautifully polished Drouin kit on it, and the whole bike just looks 'right'. He spent weeks polishing just the front wheel. Real attention to detail. And it's quick too (although you can tell that just from the pictures). Check it out:
