I like it. I agree about the brakes though. I want to be able to both stop and go.

I'd like to take a real life look at the tank. I has a quilted appearance.

Modern flat trackers run a rear disc.

Guys back in the old days were brakeless.

Looks like a Buell front end & brake. If so, those brakes work plenty well.

cool looking bike, love the flat track look.

Brakeless days! The late Rex Beauchamp..........Louisville, Ky. half-mile National, at about 110 mph! Those guys were nuts!

Had the pleasure of talking to him, and watching him race many, many times. Sadly he was killed in a street bike accident while still a young man. Very nice, very talented guy.

It's pin stripes and little skulls where they cross. Pretty cool.

Looks like Aaron missed the little detail of the pipes on the wrong side
