When I was a kid, me & some friends went to Sydneys Castlereagh drag strip, it was out near Penrith, and EJ Potter ( the Michigan madman ) was there with his home built V8 bike powered by a Chevy V8, no wheelie bars, was very short about same length as a normal old bike of the day. he just had an open face helmet on. & he done full 1/4 mile Burn Out's wide open all the way & not holding the brake on just flat out, think he got up to something like 120mph, but at that strip ( basically just an old air strip in a paddock. they don't make them like EJ Potter now!!

there was interesting story's about things EJ Potter did, while traveling in USA with that bike. he would get Brand new Trucks, have the v8 bike set up to run the new trucks, wheel & tyre on the back. at the track he pulled the front wheels + tyre's off the truck, each pass would use a new wheel + tyre, then later call into a car dealership, & ask them to look how much wear from tyres on his new Truck that only had low miles up. the Dealers could not work it out so fitted new tyre's free.

Definitely had balls,
