“The whole system was primed for people to keep driving, and no one’s going anywhere.”

Had the opportunity to do track days with the Porsche Club at Barber a few times. You would be billed for torn up grass and/or guardrails if you went off. Luckily, George didn’t bill for gravel traps!

“and there must be some kind of transaxle unit replacing the differential going on under that transverse frame member and spare tire, since there’s no room for a driveshaft between that transmission and rear axle.”

Nice bike. Looks like they’re giving the 919 another go. The 919 utilized a “de-tuned CBR900RR engine”. Hopefully, they’ll release something like this when I need to replace my 919.

Brings to mind the Liquid Piston design.  

Cracked me up.  Well played, sir!

“But another owner wooed away her drivers...” (NYT article) So the “women who don’t belong on the racing field” are driving elsewhere. Hmmmm....

Somebody give Fred back his binky...

There was more than two people on the ballot.

Happy now?

Two points David. Get the adjuster sleeves for the new drag link/tie rod ends. You can lose hours trying to reuse the old rusty ones.  (Don’t ask me how I know.)  Also, those ball joints appear to be of the press in variety. Harbor Freight sells the tool kit or you could verify with the parts store (Advance?) that…

I know , exactly, where they all are.  #analaboutmytools

As explained to me by an extremely wealthy self-made man...

Well played, sir. 

Came here for this.  Was not disappointed.  Star for you, my friend!

Never realized this thing had 5 wheels. One on the nose, two amidships, and two at the rear on outriggers. Strange...

Came here to say this!  All the stars!  You nailed it!

And the Hyundai plant just south of Montgomery.

Possibly you should rethink your premise.
