Partner, your package is all parcelled up and ready for me to go to the post office tomorrow morning. It has a long way to go :-) Hope that you will be happy with it, I tried very hard to make something I thought you would like.

Crust:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

 

Cheesecake Filling:

3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

3/4 cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons, divided

3 large eggs

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

 

Apples:

3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

 

Streusel topping, recipe follows

1/2 cup caramel topping

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, combine flour and brown sugar. Cut in butter with a pastry blender (or 2 forks) until mixture is crumbly. Press evenly into a 9x13 baking pan lined with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake 15 minutes or until lightly browned.

 

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with 3/4 cup sugar in an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth. Then add eggs, 1 at a time, and vanilla. Stir to combine. Pour over warm crust.

 

In a small bowl, stir together chopped apples, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spoon evenly over cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle evenly with Streusel topping. Bake 40-45 minutes, or until filling is set. Drizzle with caramel topping and let cool. Serve cold and enjoy!

 

Streusel Topping:

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup quick cooking oats

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened

 

In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. I like to really combine it by using my clean hands to thoroughly combine the butter into the mixture.

With 88 rear wheel horsepower in a sub-300lb package, this example is arguably the quickest and best handling old-school 750cc TT1 in North America.

 

I built this TT1 using period components as a relatively faithful replica of the TT1s that ran in the AMA BOTT GP class back in the day. The only deviation being the modern (90s) calipers and pumps, ignition coils and the non standard crankcase breather box in the seat. However, it differs from most TT1 replicas in that it was built to be a fast and reliable track bike. Over the years I’ve found that the only TT1 frame that seems to work well with modern 17” wheels & slicks is the final series Verlicchi large diameter, thin wall. Back in the day, Reno Leoni had DM Frames make a copy of the Verlicchi and DM has since modified the jig to allow for the use of a big block motor. The DM version was checked digitally last year against the Verlicchi and they are geometrically identical, however the DM is 12mm longer between the upper cross brace and the steering head. I countered this somewhat with the offset on my triple clamps, but the small difference in trail gives the DM a bit more stability with a very small decrease in agility.

 

The whole thing is held together with over $900 in titanium and aluminum fasteners. Every bearing and seal in the motor and on the machine is new. The bike is a highly-developed example of an old-school TT1 – works brilliantly on the track and handles better than any TT1 I’ve ridden. The bike and motor were built with care and a high level of attention to detail over an 18 month period. It was broken in correctly on the dyno and then saw six horsepower/tuning pulls and roughly 4.5 hours of track time. I’ve run the bike at Calabogie and Mosport – and came away delighted with the performance and handling on both occasions.

 

The specs are:

 

DM TT1 Frame

Marvic 3-spoke magnesium wheels with floating 280mm Brembo rotors front and 260mm rear

Brembo P3034 calipers with authentic Brembo racing caliper adapters

Brembo 996 series pumps

Authentic TT1 Brembo rear master

Marzocchi M1R forks substantially modified by Lindeman engineering back in the day (they work like no M1R I’ve ever experienced)

Authentic TT1 Marzocchi 195mm triple clamps

TZ replica throttle

Scitsu tacho

851 clip-ons (Verlicchi)

Authentic NCR electrics plate

Bosch ignition (rewired pick-ups) with Dyna 3 ohm coils

Custom-built Stadium shock (rebound plus Hi & Lo speed compression adjustment)

750 F1 aluminum swing arm

Leoncinni TT1 Replica floating rear brake caliper mount

Leoncinni TT1 Replica rear sets

Old Racing Spares endurance tank and TT1 seat with custom, integrated breather box

Bimota DB1R fender & mount

Romanelli TT1 fairing

loudbike open NCR replica exhaust

loudbike 85db Weber exhaust

750 Sport-based bottom end built by Gary Palmer

800SS rods

Lightened clutch basket, clutch housing, primaries and flywheel

JPrecision heads with new valves, guides & seats and NCR #7 cams with STM adjustable pulleys

Modified F1B pistons (12.5:1 compression)

Mikuni TM Pro-series 41mm flat slides

Mikuni vacuum fuel pump

Modified Old Racing Spares cam end covers

Oil cooler with Starlite hoses, Earls fittings and top-end lubrication via cam end cover feed

Magnesium rocker covers

Dyno-tuned to 88hp, 56ftlbs torque

 

The fiberglass fairing is a period piece, so there are some minor surface cracks already starting to show. As well, there is some minor paint blistering (two quarter sized areas) from heat off the 95bd exhaust.
