Check this site for the story on a modern day Munro - John Britten
 
Unfortunately John died a couple of years ago  - senseless death - cancer....
 
That bike is/was unique and a monster. Engine is also the frame, check the suspension!!
Full adjustable Hossack system...
 
Now, if he just had reinvented the Rotary :))

Richard,

    Did you see the movie titled "The Worlds Fastest Indian" ?
It stars Anthony Hopkins, and is such a great story about a man and his motorcycle.  

  Certainly, we are all cut from similar cloth, but you may be Burt Munro reincarnate. To see you building your own composite housings, Burt made his own piston engine, rods, cylinders, pistons, etc. Such great creativity, like yours.
