The OP is a kooky nut job. He's always spewing nonsense. He's been following me around message boards trying to taunt me ever since I laughed at him years ago for starting a post about protesting a beginner race because he (or maybe his kid, I don't remember) got cheated out of a plastic trophy. Just leave him alone with his tin foil hat and HAM radio.
My understanding is it was meant to be a replica of a factory rider that rode it back then. Does that ring a bell to anyone?
Pit Row
In reference to my earlier post. Looked similar but different motor.
Kelvin built two of these. Magoo rode one of them at a USGP. Jeff Jennings went lightning fast on one at the Carlsbad 4-stroke Nationals. Does anybody know if either still exists?

Ducati Bevel Drive engined Sidecarcrosser :
And, at first I thought this showed an ATK style CS disc, when looking at a small picture, but its a Brembo caliper 1/2 being used as a slave cylinder with a hydraulic clutch conversion - at least I think it is :
I'm a bit baffled by the chain links connected to a through shaft, another shaft, and perhaps the rear brake mastercylinder. Gears / Brakes, buggered if I know. Sidecarcrossers seem to be a somewhat bodgey group of lunatics ........
I grew up surrounded by bikes - very specifically BSAs / CCMs, Matchless's, Vincents, Velocettes and Ducati's, Guzzis and Laverdas. My Dad and Uncle got new BSAs, then CCMs each year as they came out, keeping each one. Me? - I was far more interested in my RMs, YZs and CRs of the time, that I worked my arse off to pay for on my own - no backing from the old man. It was sink or swim with him, with just advice on the mechanical front. Typical, lifetime professional soldier. A hard. damned near heartless bastard at times, but, much loved. He died earlier this year, and the executors are trying to find his collection of bikes he left to my brothers and I - it appears that his last consort may have done a shifty with them. Hope not, as we would put them to good use. The Old Bastard wanted it that way, instead of her lining her pockets.
Different than todays 4T's (obviously), heavy, and I could hear it laugh at me everytime I used the brakes, but a blast to ride!
Moates rode a Knobby Shop International / KSI bike, in a couple of GPs - or, at least in Britain. I think he rode a Works Ossa 2T in a few GPs too.
The type Marty rode ( a re-furb by Rod Spry - check his site out, he does gorgeous work) :
A 'Modern' version of it, static, and being ridden (I think at a VMXDN a year or two ago) :
I think they are Fournales air shocks? Or, maybe Sachs? More likely Fournales as they are still made / they can make what you want. Hell, they also remind me of the non piggyback reservoir Kayaba Airshocks of the mid / late 70s, but I doubt that's what they are.
And it's rear end with a trellis type swingarm :
Sorry, I never seem to be able to put them up as full sized pictures.
