Which frame is this one ? Maybe the Boris Murray frame ?
Looks like it would flex to me . . . .
UPDATE FROM WILEY: Jeff told me this is the early Boris Murray frame. Leo picked this one up from Gordon Kately (who ran a fueler at the time). This frame didn't flex so bad, but it had this wobble at high speeds and it threw Leo off at 150mph. Amazingly, he just got scraped up a bit, and the bike was pretty much ok too - real lucky that time. You always think these drag racers get all the glory, etc - but, it's a real dangerous way to make a living. You never hear of all the bad shit that happens.
