Mr. Brown,

What the heck is going on with the front fender of that BMW? It reminds me of a car boot used to immobilize a vehicle that is illegally parked.

 

The white bike is an R100RS, the first properly wind-tunnel developed production bike. The grey one is a K1, which BMW took to the extreme! It had a drag coefficient the same as a car, it was that well stream-lined. So the answer to your question is that the front wheel has a fender/fairing that blends into the rest of the bike. It was claimed to do 150mph with 100HP. Beautiful, ain't it?!

**** I did that on my 97 hp, 83" Evo..... Lol.....

 

Rats - if only we could have been there to witness that......

 

I worked on the Vette this morning. I was able to fix a lot and the only thing I spent money on was a rear view mirror adhesive kit.

I even managed to get a brand new 84 month battery from O''Reilly's for free.

I got the beast started and it roared to life. A few years ago I put a complete stainless steel flow master exhaust system from the end of the headers on back, so it sounds pretty awesome without being really loud. I drove it around for a bit and gave the outside a good washing. I forgot how much I like this car.

I still have some more work to do on the interior but I was glad to make a lot of progress today.

I know, not Evo or cake related, but I had good day today, not only making progress on the repairs but also for the first time in a while, working on something worthwhile that made me feel viable. There's a lot of bullshit in my world that I don't post about and today I was able to forget about that stuff.

 

Ah - Corvette cake - anyone?!

 

Nice... Glad to hear.

Now for that cake, Mmmmmmmm...

 

Damn. I had this cake, but she won't share.

 

Maybe she will let you clean up the crumbs!!!!!

 

judging by her body, I am going out on a limb that she didn't eat all of it.
