Why aren't you dailying a WW1-era race bike with brazed frame, 1000 c.c. V-twin, pedal start, manual fuel pump, manual oil pump, no clutch, and no brakes, /o/? What's your excuse?
>>29035134Because they tore down all the board tracks in my area.
>>29035134This is the sort of thing a rich person buys to leave in their parlor as a conversation piece.
I need to haul my shit in a van during the week. and I got an 81 Honda for the weekend.I totally would if I had one tho.
>>29035134They would do 100mph+ on these deathtrapsImagine going 100mph on something that's barely more than a bicycle
>>29035134I like modern advancements such as the automatic starter and brakes.
>>29035299100mph was where they maxed out.Most were running down in the 50mph range. Still terrifying on a glorified bicycle and anybody who stepped up to compete at higher levels were absolute madmen.
>>29035134>manual fuel pump, manual oil pump, no clutchHow do you drive it?>and no brakes,wtf how do you stop?
>>29035134i'm more a fan of 60s and 70s barges
>>29035352>how do you drive itYou don't, it drives you>how do you stopWhen fate commands it
>>29035352>wtf how do you stop?
>>29035552at 50mph no you dont
>>29035299None of these did 100mph. Some of the fastest motorcycles of the early 1900s were doing 45-75mph.>>29035352Engine brake down to a speed you could drag your feet at. Yes really. On tracks everyone would just do slow down laps until they could stop.A tiny few had brakes similar to old bicycles that grabbed the rim. Usually front only.
>>29036207>Yes really.Wild. How do you change gears without a clutch, and how many speeds was there?Also manual oil pump? Hows that work.
>>29035552Just put your feet on the ground, retard
