Porsche Speed Yes..How About Motorcycles?
Lots of fast guys in fast Porsches. How many here are also into fast two-wheelers? What's hiding in the garage or your history?
Back in the stone age of the 1970s I used to roadrace Formula 2 (Yamaha TZ250) and Superbike (Ducati 750 Sport and Honda 750 K). Now I am more into older and slower on two-wheels.
Nowadays for fun I continue to rebuild and refine my 1966 Ducati 250 cafe racer.

Old school cafe racers are the bomb. I have to admit, in my old age, I have considered trading my MV Agusta in for something more comfortable and classic. Lots hiding in my history, but the MV is the only thing hiding (and I mean hiding!) in my garage right now.

All my two wheel time is spent in the dirt. I have a KTM 525 MXC, a YZ 250 (2 stroke), a Duncan Racing Honda TRX 450 quad, and a Duncan Racing Banshee.
Love the dirt and the sand dunes.

Funnybike
My former ride...before getting into Porsches. The pic is me carrying the front wheel on my injected alky blow-thru turbo Funnybike. 13" width car tire on beadlock rim. 1327cc Suzuki GS1150 based engine. My bests 6.661/207.42.
After I crashed in testing [brake failure], my friend Korry Hogan took over the program and we won AMA/Prostar Funnybike Championships in 2004 & 2005, quickest run 6.47 and hold the speed records at 213 mph (1/4) and 177 mph (1/8).
Rikard Gustafsson of Sweden now owns the bike, and won the UEM 2006 Top Fuel Championship with personal bests of 6.55/205.

I had a Ducati 860 GT until some Bozo ran a stop sign and hit me broadside. That was 28 years ago.
Looking above at all the Ducati's above makes me think we are all Non-conformists. I have always wanted to drive something that you don't see everyday, hence the Ducati.
