Wow, look at that jack shaft gear ratio -- and tell me if I'm seeing it
right. If this is an example of Jack's "add gear 'til you go slower,
then add Hp" axiom -- well, it must be an exciting ride. "Geared for
the moon" takes on new meaning here. I can't read the number on the
side plate to look up what the bike ran. Is this the Whipple that was
mentioned earlier?. I'll sure as heck buy the rider a can of soda out
of respect for him -- I don't think I'm quite ready to take this down
the course. . . More power to you, Sir!
