For any rider of a certain age, this photo needs no explanation.

WOW ! As one of those riders of a  'certain age' I think this outfit is top of the line. He's got a trailer!
V416 went from the bed of a thoroughly beat '55 chevy pickup, to a pair of racks clamped to the back bumper of a '67 Pontiac LeMans (OHC 6).
Except for breaking off my stinger, the truck was better for the bike. The car was better for female company. Guess who got the short end of that decision making process?
Absolutely great pic! Thanks for putting it up.  Cheers, Fred

Another simple homebuilt race rig.  Started with boat trailer axle and scrap angle iron.  (Phillips boys @ Orlando Sports Stadium circa '72-73)
