Anyone know anything about this rather interesting looking machine featured on The Daily Pod Shot Blog?

With regards to the first picture posted earlier this week the bike was originally constructed by a guy up Yorkshire way called Graham Sykes and was originally intended to run as a Top Fuel Drag Bike. I first came across the machine at the NEC Autosport Show around 1994/95. Graham was then experimenting with a fuel injected Rover V8.
From there the bike disappeared until recently where it turned up at a couple of NSA Sprint meets, and still in its two wheel drag bike configuration. However I've seen the bike recently in the pages of 'Streetfigthers' magazine, still running with two wheels at a Straightliners event at Elvington, until last month's photo taken at the Extreme Motorcycle event at Santa Pod. If I come across anymore info I'll post it here.
With regards to the second photo, not a glue other than its extremely on the boarderline!

The SYKO was pictured at the recent NSA sprint at the Pod on the 24th September. It's a weird looking bike! I believe Graham only added a third wheel in an attempt to get the bike to go in a straight line! I think if he even added a fourth wheel, it might still not go in a straight line. BTW, it's got a 5 litre engine (don't know what vintage) claiming to put out 425 BHP.
