ktm jeff Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 That Jag XK combo had the rad in the sidecar unit. The carbs were just in front of the rider , resulting in a very pleasant / unpleasant experience if you braked too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballpoint Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I stumbled upon a UK drag racing website that has a good selection of bike photos from the early 70's, with commentary by those who rode them, and thought of thaiguzzi for some reason. I can hear and smell them just by looking at the pictures. Some nice street drag bikes too: https://www.theaccelerationarchive.co.uk/roger/phillips_03.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
