Here's a mad one from a mad character as well. He goes by the name of Surt in his email (which I'm sure is meant to be Surtr), how do I know that? Because he claims to come from the realm of Múspellsheim (a norse mythological realm of fire). Anyway, here's his story....
"A 100% HOME-MADE Cafe-racer/street-fighter with Honda Civic 1335 engine and a home-made transmission. Specs: Engine: Inline four-cylinder 4-stroke SOHC 8 valves 1335cc 69hp; Bore & Stroke 72x82; Compression Ratio 8.8; Liquid cooled, carburated Transmission: 4-speed home-made, 3 shafts from Ural; Primary drive two 2-rowed chains; a single disc. dry type clutch, a home-made slave clutch cylinder; Final Drive 525 Chain (from Honda CBR600RR). Rake and Trail:24°/100mm. Wheel Base: 1485mm Frame: a home-made full duplex type. Seat Height: 850mm. Front Suspension: Modified Ural forks, Home-made tripples, 130mm. Rear Suspension: a home-made swing arm and a monoshock (made from Honda City shock-adsorber and a spring from some Accord), full-float, 135 mm Front Brake: a home-made 390mm rotor. Rear Brake: a home-made 246mm disc. Front wheel: home-made with 120/70-16 tyre. Rear wheel: home-made with 170/70-15 tyre. Fuel Capacity: 20l, a modified tank. Dry Weight: appr. 213kg, 49% front & 51% rear wheel weight ratio. It took 4 years and $1000 to build the bike. Also I had to get employed in a military plant to have a way to their equipment. Now the bike is being converted (by me, sure) into fuel injection, EDIS and turbocharged. Also now I'm out to emigrate to Australia, therefore looking for job opportunities in a custom bike building shop."
This guy is talented and probably slightly mad. I like it.
