You always get interesting bike's over at the Classic TT meeting & this year was no exception.I posted those Lc's yesterday.For me,this was the most interesting bike on Douglas prom Sunday night.

It took me a couple of minute's to realise what I was looking at

The styling's not to my taste but judging by the curious onlookers it's 'interesting' alright

The shaft drive is BMW (mid-90s period by the looks of it). Presumably running off the output shaft of the Suzuki gearbox.

Chassis looks home-made.

Yeah, it's ANOTHER blingy Elsie, I was just tickled by the accessory bolted to the grab rail.

Maybe bikes are like jokes, if they're good the first time, they're not less good just because you've heard them before. :D

FWIW I think that 'power band' bike looks :thumbup: .

That headlight is gopping, and not just on that bike.

The headlight is like something from the 1950s film War of the Worlds

The headlight? It's round, with lights in, mounted in the fairing. :eh:

Wossa problem? Looks OK to me. :thumbup:
