This bike is just cool.

Von Dutch built Bonneville salt flats racer built on a 47 twin with a Supercharger driven off the primary. Not really sure about the price - but it's a piece of history for sure. On ebay for with plenty o pics for those interested. Now what can I run a supercharger off of on my thrux??

that is cool. I say run the supercharger off the countershaft sprocket. It should make for interesting performance!

I'm probably the only one.....

I'm not exactly a gear head but I can appreciate a nice bike and that is not one! It looks like scrap. Sure its a Von Dutch, and in some circles it may be considered "ART" but who the hell cares when its rusting and leaking oil all over your new carpets.

Looks like a suicide machine for sure. Proving once again, the old guys were fearless. Love the look, but I'd hate to get a pant leg caught in that contraption.

Why would you park any bike on new carpet?
