I thought it looked out of place, but you have to accommodate all sorts I guess. Looks like a mobility scooter more than a motorcycle.

Thanks for the compliments fellas. :smt023

Twas a great event all be it COLD AND WINDY. :smt022

The beemer sled thing was built by a guy that goes by the handle MAKR (on 2SW forum). I got to chatting with him there and put two and two together and figured out that was him. He has a land speed RD400 and has a great thread on the 2SW forum documenting his trials and tribulations on that bike. He lives by the salt flats and the lay down beemer was built in the theme of land speed however, he says it will never go out on the salt. But what a builder.

Man, that dash is a let-down. Turbo is nice, though.

Wow, a bit more art than motorcycle there. Certainly an exceptional level of craftsmanship.
Nice video Ken, those Morgan guys are show hounds, one week its a motorcycle, the next week it's a car.
