T/F Drag Bike

Post by hotrodz »

It has been a while since you last saw this project. Mike revealed this Top Fuel Drag Bike at last years RCX show. This outrageous crotch rocket is yet another creation from the depths of John Fosters mind and Area 51. This will be the first of a number of posts as I have many build/reassembly pics to share. This pic is as last seen at the RCX show.

Regards...Ron

Looks sharp and powerful !
Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the world together.
