If your first impression of the Gonzo Motorcycles Nimbus Type C “Odin’s Fury” concept is that it looks like it was designed and purpose built to crush straight line drags, you’re absolutely on the money. Even though the bike doesn’t bear much resemblance to the donor Nimbus Type C it’s based on, that historic Danish bike (which was originally built by vacuum manufacturers) had a remarkable engine cast into a single block paired to a shaft drive. When Danish motorcycle builder, tinkerer and all around madman Lars Nielsen set out to build “Odin’s Fury” to compete in the “750cc, home built frame, partially streamlined, vintage, blown category” at the Bonneville Salt Flats during AMA Speed Week, he kept that motor and rebuilt the rest of the bike around it. An entirely new frame was built with a hard tailed configuration in the rear and Sportster forks up front. The wheels were swapped for ones from a Honda Goldwing. The fuel tank and bodywork both come from unknown donor vehicles. Head to the Gonzomoto Facebook page for updates on how the bike performs at the flats.
