Just thinking back there were some pretty special builds by our members--both current and past.
Where are they now?
Martin's OMT bike
Howard (Howie) Able's 1100F
Dirty Mary.
Deano Swimm's--"BattleAx"
Sure there are SEVERAL others I have unintentionally forgotten.
How about posting a small blurb on your "special" and a few pix for all to enjoy? |

Franks Bike...I have done a few cosmetic updates of my own but mechanically it's all Frank
Engine is an 1100f with OMT cams
Carbs are Mikuni BST36SS with pods
Rear end is CBR900RR with the monoshock and 180 tire
Front end has stock forks with upgraded internals, vtr1000 wheel and custom fender
There is a ton more I'm not remembering and dont want to type on my phone. If I get a chance I'll update this post later
It's a riot to ride and very nicely modified. Frank's work is outstanding and I love having it in the garage.
I changed the paintwork to a Freddie theme, repainted the header, polished some things, fixed a couple oil leaks and changed out the clutch internals and oil.
Many fun miles had so far on my local Virginia back roads and I look forward to spring. |

Dirty Mary ended in England and was sold to a guy called Jim in Ireland, it did appear on a Facebook group a few years ago when he was riding it on a trackday

Pretty sure Jim (Jjam) has Stoutblock's OMT bike. Probably stripped it for parts....

I believe he has DaBeast, not the OMT bike.
The OMT bike went to a member named Fastball |

Dabeast bike is fully stripped and in the Q for a complete makeover. The really nice head that was on it is toast. When it spit a shim. The shim cracked the head all the way from the bucket bore all the way out to the edge of the head. Can’t fix that.
The paint on the tank was chipped, the seat was torn and steering stem loose and the bearings worn out. It was time for a complete rebuild.
Once it’s finished it will be for sale. I believe it’s already sold? The interested buyer wants it to be the faster Blue so it may go that way if he gets me the 8k down payment.
That’s what’s up with DaBeast. I’ll show pictures when it’s done but it’s in a long Q so don’t hold your breath.
Peace Jjam |

The single sided swingarm bike owned by Wamkap1100 (Phil) / built by JSGAuto is still in Phil's hands! It has plain white bodywork now and his 16 year old son Will has ridden it a few times this summer under close supervision of his dad! I believe it has an 1123 engine with original Ontario Racing pistons that we freshened up a few years ago? |

Phil rode that bike on my first northeast spring ride, I believe? Good looking scoot, from memory... |

Still got her, tucked away in the garage. I haven't had ber out for about 3 seasons now. A real shame, I know! Have had some knee problems, but went under the knife 4 months ago and doing much better. Still not sure if I'll be able to ride her with the angle of those Raasks. Springtime will tell. |
