Jim had one of those "water buffaloes" too. He tried to ride it with the kickstand down.

I've been trying to figure out where you put your butt and your feet on the big block supercharged rig. Don't think it would be much good in the twisties.
Don't know if some of you are old enough to remember a guy named E.J. Potter. He was probably the the first guy to mess around with v8's in bikes. Some of his other conversions were interesting too. I wonder what he would have built if he had turned his attention to MGs?

Phil, I remember seeing EJ pictures in Hot Rod Mag. His stops were colorful also! He just put the bike on the stand (rear wheel off ground), reved and pushed it off stand to launch.
