Double Trouble: Twin Norton-Engined retro drag bike from Flyrite Choppers

[sweatmachine]

What's cooler than a Norton-powered drag bike? How about a double Norton-powered drag bike (built right here in Austin, TX no less)?

Kinda cool but what a waste of two Nortons.

Purist.

I disagree 100%. They made something more than just another Norton. It's not like a damn Vincent for crying out loud.

Very cool… And registered for street use?

Hmm, to my mind the thing should be more of a fire breathing, gnomelike, rock throwing type of vehicle. Any 1/4 mile times out there?

Those Flyrite guys are incredible. Started a lot easier than I had assumed when reading the Horse article. I'd love to pore over that in person and see it in action.

That video led me to a few Stevie Ray Vaughn videos, boy, I miss him.

yeah Flyrite is cool. I've been to their shop a handful of times. They do a nice open house every year. Bands, BBQ, BYOB, tons of bikes (you can actually sit on, touch, fondle, etc) and generally run amuck in their shop.

Yeah, SRV. Another Austin, TX icon!

Wow. That bike is gorgeous. A work of art and friggin' TUFF.
