Ron Wood built a new Red Rocket
Legendary Flat Track fabricator and Team Owner, Ron Wood stunned the Perris Half Mile National crowd with his new Honda Africa 1000cc twin. As you would expect, coming from Mr.Wood, the bike is perfect in every detail and jewel like in it's presentation. Chad Cose rode the new bike with respect but didn't spare the horses. The bike had a unique sound with its big box and turned in tip and its straight line speed looked very competitive. The bike is something to behold and was easily the most gawked at and popular two wheeler in the pits. Ron has an interesting mix of round and square tubing in the frame which intricately bends around the big power plant. Sticking with an old Flat Track tradition, the right footpeg is a '60's Triumph passenger peg with a special RW bend. Adding a new bike to the mix is fantastic and we look forward to seeing if the big Honda has the beans to give the Indians some worries on the Miles.
