Call your eye doctor and book an appointment. You need your eyes checked.

So, for Ducati and all manufacturers applying for AMA and DC approval into ‘24 and beyond AMA Pro Racing, the new homologation rule is now *2000 units ready to be inspected by AMA and DC before any manufacturer can apply to be reviewed for qualification to be considered for a 5-year waiting list before a final inspection and allowance of inclusion into a consolation qualification for possible entry into a probationary period of one year with allowance for 5 races minimum in SX and/ or MX. At the end of the probationary period of one year, the manufacturer must present an additional 1000 units to be inspected and presented for application to qualify for a preliminary assessment for probation inclusion of an additional 3 races, at which time a post inspection will be conducted by AMA, DC, and selected board members to discuss entry fees.

That Green  (hydraulic) 2WD and 2 Wheel steering Maico is just one of Ian Drysdale's bikes.

Yes, a bit of a 'weirdo', but with some incredible engineering. It's much more of an 'Ag' bike, than a 'Racer'. Hence the rack areas, heavy duty hand protection and storage compartments and large fuel capacity.

Here's some pictures and a link to one of his other projects, his 750cc and 1000cc V8s, from around 1997  - using (some)  Yamaha tope end parts:

PA-Drysdale-V8-1000-012-1022x800 0

PA-Drysdale-V8-1000-018-1024x637 0

More pictures / the original article these pictures came from, about the V8s:

https://www.mcnews.com.au/drysdale-1000-v8-phil-aynsley/

The blokes an incredible engineer. In one of the articles written about the V8s, one was stolen, with his suspicion of it ending up in China. 

The irony is that  one of the last things I read about Mr Drysdale, is that he has now worked for some Chinese companies, designing Bikes / Quads  / Engines  etc for them.

A very clever bloke indeed.

Looks like a CRF other than the engine and swingarm.  

That could easily be 2025 CRF spy shot.

This one’s probably already on here. Could this be the first $20k dirt bike?
