Zef's spent ages talking me through the V8 bike, from the amazing electrics,
to the anti squat rear, constant chain tension, hidden rads, stacked gearbox,
clutch access, adjustable gearing but never changing the rear sprockets, etc etc.
Much more high tech than the turbine and he has a real passion for its development.
Race bike with the owners lower legs.
Once he attached his false legs the foot pegs had bolt pointing up and
the boots had holes they stayed where they were put.
Guy lost both legs to a land mine in Afghanistan.
Went to Silverstone two weeks before to watch Rossi teach the Spanish Dwarfs
how to ride in the rain. Didn't take too many pics and the ones I did aren't great,
but.....
The 3rd loudest thing there was a MotoGP bike. FARK! They are loud.
The 2nd loudest thing was the cheer when Marquez fell off.
The loudest thing was the crowd when Rossi won.
I swear the Pommies must think he's English.
They bloody love him.
Never seen a rider get so much support from the crowd.
Despite having someone there trying to do a write up and heaps of folk interested
in both his Turbine and V8 bikes, and trying to run them up the hill, he made time
for a long one-on-one chat and talked me through a lot of stuff he's doing.
He had a smile that folk from AU were following his bikes and was keen to chat.
A very smart and helpful guy (as was Allen with the V10 and huge V-twin monster)
now that is super awesome!!! i wonder what the heat is like on the v8 and v10 bikes....i would think it would burn the heck out of your legs and jewels
