It's been 2 months since my feature about the workshops that were gearing up to challenge Lucky Cat Garage's 'Sprintbeemer' in the 1/8th mile races at Glemseck 101. Since the race took place I've been eagerly awaiting details and photos of the bike that finally "killed the cat" to be released... 

If there's one thing every builder should strive to achieve when they customise a motorcycle it's to improve upon its original construction. Many of the bikes used as donors for the builds we feature are decades old so that task can sometimes be an easy one. Improvements in electronics can be...
