Killer Fastback.
By Dave Shoe - 04/28/2002 3:29:54 PM; IP 63.233.225.16
I bought my first Commando Roadster in '76, and presently run a 750 Fastback named "Killer" which has the Dunstall 2:1:2 exhaust. It somehow acquired the name during it's track racing days back in the '70s.

I dig Roadsters, Combats, and Fastbacks a bunch.

I don't know all that much about Ky, except he's wild as hell when on the rocket topic. Very friendly and fun person. I was introduced to him a couple months ago over some pizza and beer at a TCNOC meet. Other TCNOC and Lake Street Surf and Drag Association members know him well.

It was fun to learn of how he "traded" some rocket goodies to acquire his retired intercontinental ballistic missile (warhead removed), and how he was later asked to return it (or at least take it out of his back yard) to avoid an international situation of some sort (since it could be seen from space), but he managed to hold onto it once all the authorities figured out he acquired it legally and wasn't gonna give it back. I may have some parts of this story mixed around, but I'll surely be learning more as time goes on.
