It Came from eBay Hell: Porsche 959 Speedster Replica

In 1986, the Porsche 959 was the world’s fastest street legal product car. Some 337 of these road-going monsters were built but not one of them was a factory-finished convertible. Regardless of what you may have heard or seen on forums, such a vehicle was never sanctioned by Porsche.

I had the pleasure of finding a new blog specializing in smaller displacement bikes (mostly Honda's) called Chalopy.  I dropped Ralph an E-mail to see if I could post a few pics of his and he responded with a trio of outstanding photo's from his collection.  These are some really fantastic bikes!

Thank you for your e-mail.
Your mcpoftd blog is kinda like motorcycle porn.. Very nice !
I am not to fond of 2-strokes though ;) Too much fumes.
Someone sent me pictures of a 6 cylinder Adler. The German owner simply mated three 2-cylinder engines together. Will see if I can find them again.
The attached pics were made in '04 at the parking lot of the Classic Races races held in Barneveld (Netherlands). The local industrial area is transformed into a street circuit once a year.
Would be honoured to see my stuff back on your blog !

Greetings,
Ralph.
