A picture a day....biker banter (Vol 3)
Discussion
Been helping my mate with the restoration / update of the first bike he built from scratch nearly thirty years ago. By chance he met the current owner who hadn't run it for many years, so it had to be bought for £750 and soon as it arrived the work began.
Its a Honda 350 CB77 with a supercharger originally used to pressurise the cockpit of a WW2 aircraft, it runs on Nitro with the blower making about 35 psi. It ran low tens in the quarter mile, not bad for something built in a shed on a shoestring.

Might be a bit of a daft question but does that have a chain and sprocket on both sides? Just the chain doesn't look much meatier than a road bike but I'm guessing it's putting out silly powerAlso is that shot took just at launch? Looks like the tyre is twisting and deforming on the rim at the bottom.
