A bit hard to see, with the background in the way

i did not realize there were any Brittens in private collections..

I found this

www.motosolvang.com/bike_pages/1995_Briiten_V1000.htm

This is the one Andrew Stroud rides, I'm not sure if it is his or not.
I suspect it is the one that he won Daytona in '94 (speed record 189mph), '96, '97 & '98.

There is a doco on John Britten and building the bike, one of my enduring memories is of him casting the engine block in his garage and not having enough cooling water on hand, so he ran outside and threw it into his swimming pool.

I watched Stroud ( i think it was him) wheelie all the way from the start to the crest of the straight at Seca...he would do this evey lap and the sound was unreal...we were sitting on the hill leading to the corkscrew about 1/2 mile away and looking down on the track,and could really only hear that bike out of all the ones racing.....wheel stand for 400 -500 ft
this must have been 94-95?
