Tricky:

Best 'old' bike: KH500 (the widow maker)

Best 'fun' bike: Buell S1 Lightning

Maddest Bike: cant choose between the z1000 with the Mr Turbo and 'fingers crossed' brakes or the GSX1400 with the supercharger.

Most outrageous: Last trike I built - Porsche 914 3/4 race tuned, 140mph quarter at Santa Pod.

Worst bike: Benelli TNT, okay as long as you didn't ride it.

Best bike of all: My new modded GSX1400.

You have excellent taste!! My wife who is looking over my shoulder is telling me that I am never allowed to play with you with out mental health staff present.
That noted I would love to know what your experience with the TNT was?
Also as a fellow Frankenstein builder (A few years back I put together a GT40 look alike using a tweaked Mazda 13b with a 7.5 Camden Blower on top) you have any pictures of you trike?

TLS was a great bike cept the frames used to break at the air box mounts other than that they rocked. A friend of mine broke two of them in the same spot and both were replaced by suzuki, they gave him the parts but would not pay the labor.
