Motor with two wheels.

I went out and got a GS1150R because I got tired of the weight of my K1200Lt. I seen a Boss Hog get stuck on flat wet grass couldn't imagine this.
 
Watched the videos again this AM. Man your knees are right on top of the last rear cylinder header pipes right at their hottest point. Only a thin shield that seems to be added in the second video. Yikes.
 
He made the heat resistant tiles out of ceramic gas fireplace coals. I thought that was genius. NASA wouldn’t sell him any used ceramic tiles from the space shuttle. Ha ha.
 
1970 Harley Shovelhead chop. Kick-only, jockey shift. A fist fight to ride. Love her.

This was my last one. I had too many friends killed in Florida on them. The last straw was my neighbor getting his leg ripped off near the hip and his arm at the elbow. A minivan crossed the center lane on a two laner. Survived and remembered everything about the wreck. I moved while he was in rehab and he relocated back to New Jersey. Lost track of him.
I had plenty of near misses and so that and me having nerve issues in my right arm and hand made the decision to give up 50+ years of riding.
Busted collar bone and shoulder dislocation was the worst for me. That was on a dirt bike. Fastest was my ZX14. Clocked 173 on it. It had more, I didn't.... Lack of aero was making everything blurry so that was it.
 
Your brother impresses me!
He has some pretty amazing talent for sure. That was his first bike build. He has basically rebuilt his Audi S4 twin turbo v6 into a screaming banshee of a road car with about 800hp (so far). I have driven it and its INSANE. He's taken it to Bonneville and hit 175mph. He is about 80% through a rebuild of a Fiat X1/9 that will have an Audi 5cyl, and also an Audi S1 Quattro that will have the better part of 1000hp when done. Its his passion to build and fabricate.
 
I’d love to hear this one in person.
