I apologize if this has been already mentioned, I did not read the articles yet either ...... In the July/Aug issue of FUELL there seems to be some revealed secrets. Page 10 there is a new windscreen/flyscreen fitted and silver in color. Page 11 there are several points of interest. It looks like shortwheelbase XB's with Ulysses front ends. Two are 9 motored and one is a 12. All have Lightning tailsections. The really interesting thing I see is what appears to be chain conversions.
Now I know these could be old testing photos from pre-Ulysses days but...maybe not. Anyone, Anyone...BUELLER! NUTS

I noticed those photos too. My bet is those are from early development of the Uly. I noticed the chain type conversion swingarms and the 9 motor. The swingarm was most likely the easiest way to get the extended wheel base of the Uly in a prototype. The flyscreen is again a most likely an early prototype for the Uly.

Notice the BMW in the same photos. They would be using it as a bench mark for performance in the testing.

Why does it see like I'm the last person in the country to get my copy of Fuell?
Every issue I see posts and sometimes receive emails about it at least a week
before mine shows up in the mail.

I got the First email about this issue back on the fifth. I'm still waiting.

It only seems that way because you don't live in Eastern North Carolina. If you did you would know that you would be the last person in the country to get the latest installment of Fuell...

I guess I shouldn't have been in such a hurry to chime in, cuz I sure don't like the taste of my foot...That's right, guess what I got in the mail today? Yes, my cell phone bill. Oh yeah, and the latest issue of Fuell!

I guess I am not the last person as I thought before,

My guess is they are development bikes from the Uly. I seriously doubt if R&D would let upcoming bike pictures out of the building.
