Below, a quote from the owner….

“We all sat on the hill behind Joan's canteen and marvelled at the sight and sound of John Lynch's Belly tank roar across the lake. Twelve months later I had converted a wrecked motorcycle into a racing bike that won't take corners.”

Modified 1981 Kawasaki Z1000 J
Class: MPS 1000 (Modified, Partial Streamlining, 1000cc)
Highest speed recorded - 157 MPH March 2000
The motor produces approx. 100HP and remains relatively stock.

Hey Steve, Puppets shop on Hinman!
Godspeed Puppet!
He was the master builder. The Best! Ever!
I wish everyone here seen some of his work!
Marty from Buffalo.

Not Puppet, RIP...

This guys shop is a few hours north of Buffalo. He was building this drag "bike" for an American customer. He is a master fabricator and builder of just about anything mechanical. Hill-climbers, vintage frames etc.
