Friday afternoon safety meeting.
- Thread starter trevor
- Start date
On Wed of this week Bill invited me over to his place to meet Brooke and witness him installing the engine. Wow...what a treat that was. I also got to see a few of his other bikes....this guy is in a whole different league than I'm used to being around.
Brooke was also on an episode of Jay Leno's garage a few years back.
The master at work
1978
Zero miles on this MV
And this 1993 NR...never thought I would see one in the flesh. Only 300 were produced.
The NR showed the world what a superbike could, and should, be. Its vast range of technological advances included:
- An aluminum twin tubular frame with cast sections; taken from the RC30 race bike.
- A single-sided swingarm with chain-drive, which allowed quicker wheel-changes in endurance races; also from the RC30.
- The exhaust system was an 8 into 4 into 2 which finished “shotgun style” under the seat unit; the first on a production bike.
- A slipper clutch, taken from the original NR500; another first for a production bike
- Showa upside-down forks with custom brake callipers
- Carbon fibre/fibreglass mix bodywork
- Magnesium alloy wheels
- A fully mapped multi-point Electronic Fuel Injection
- A titanium coated non-reflective windscreen
- A “floating” carbon fibre-surrounded LCD with reflective “infinity” display
Oh and he opened up this crate to show me a spare NR Crate engine....lol
And the next night me and some buddies went to the meet and greet and heard Brooke Henry's amazing story....and we heard that Eric Bana the Australian actor is making a Mike Hailwood movie and Brooke will be supplying a couple of replicas....Brooke has made 10 with permission from the Hailwood family to sell. The bike that Mike made his stunning victory on at the TT 1978 after 12 years in retirement.

The Ducati Supermono is a lightweight, single-cylinder racing motorcycle made by Ducati and named after the Supermono racing class. 65 Supermonos were built by Ducati between 1993 and 1995.
So of course my new friend Bill has one of theses....wow! This was on display that night.
Lol …it sure is!!Motorcycle pornography, at it's best!
Wonder how you hone & set ring end gaps for such a bike.
yeah took that off Wikipedia and thought it strange not to mention.
Thanks for sharing some pics of these gems.
Lol…yes I’m on an island with a total population of around 500,000 from tip to tip.
The island certainly seems to attract an eccentric crowd.
Rob, you are well here anytime! We have lots of room..
Yeah it’s crazy Steve. I was pretty speechless at his house… and you know me, that doesn’t happen often.
"You" don't do any of that.
you install the crate engine, put the questionable motor in the crate and ship it back to HRC
Trev's island is a pretty unique place . I would venture a guess that it likely has one of the largest motorcycle and car collector communities in the world relative to it's population .......
Absolutely Garth...It's crazy how many people I have met that have incredible collections...not sure what it is about our island but something is going on lol..
I'm still relatively new to the collecting community and am probably just scratching the surface, I've met a lot of people through my safety meetings...in fact I get comments from new people I meet "oh you're the guy that has safety meetings"....lol :witless:
Storage and the sides fold down too, which is nice
