Amazing man.

Still nothing on the market even close to the innovations on that bike. Absolutely amazing to see one run at full speed. Best sounding twin I have heard ever. He is still missed.

Got to look over one of his machines in the Guggenheim Art of the Motorcycle exhibit. Amazing!

i look at a vid like that and just think that its amazing what man with a little imagination and a garage full of tools can do, i wonder how much trial and error was really involved in building that bike. or better question yet how many pints of

were consumed in coming up with an idea like that

Thanks for posting! My all time favorite bike exhaust.

One of my best friend's brothers has one of the ten Brittens in his office. How cool is that? He deserves it. He's not some sort of collector jerk. He's raced many open wheel cars, done Indy as a racer, and has set several open wheel Bonneville records... the man is a racer and then some. He decided to name his Bonneville sleds after his son who died at 21 from cancer. It's in honor of Britten's name that my friend's brother has one of the bikes. It's in good, honorable hands. How cool is that? It is where it belongs. So sad he passed so soon. Lord knows what he could have added to the world of bikes.

Damn shame. That was an awfully young age to die of cancer.

That was good to see. I hate we lost him so early.
