This thing must be hunted by retro-fans. I bet that many of my friends will sell their souls to Devil for having this thing.

@ Kumo:

Brakes on a salt racer is like locks on a convertible.
And as far as shinying it up, that could be disastrous – that’s load-bearing rust!

Remarkable bit of living history. The coins patching the tank are great.
I’d love to see it in action, the rider’s position can’t be very comfortable, but I’d bet the fun of tearing up the salt on such a remarkable machine would ease the pain. Adrenaline is a great analgesic.

Mmm. It’s me or it has no brakes at all?

A little restoration work would be nice. At least to remove the rust.
