Yeah, it's pretty awesome to see those smoke trails behind the bikes.

Found this website, the blog/story/gallery/whatever thing of a guy who built a replica of a Excelsior OHC board track from scratch. engine and all. Pretty neat and informational. He originally wanted to recreate a Cyclone like I did, haha.

[JosephGarcia]

I saw that topic and purposely didn't put that website into this topic, Interesting as it is.

[gone_fishin]

i'd forgotten all about it til i saw this one...i thought the video related trivia twist would fit in, my bad.

[JosephGarcia]

Oh no, I didn't want to add a site to this that has been in another topic. I wasn't thinking, It can be in here, of course. I just thought of starting a new topic instead of adding to an old one... I seem to have a bad habit of that. Well this one has more stuff so maybe we should just add to it?

[gone_fishin]

heck yeah, that was what i was doing, adding to this one. that was just something interesting i found one night

i've had some pretty interesting convos with wavygravy (obviously over a cold one or two) about bringing back the track for our "happy times" to run on 8)
