Turbonique
Since my friend Bill Wildt passed away I acquired his Turbonigue stuff now to figure out what to do with it. The Odyssey, the warbike and a bunch of turbonique rockets.
I also found the tire and wheel in the picture with the sticker still on the tire

Sorry to hear you lost your friend.
The slingshot looks like it would be fun to resurrect and run at nostalgia events. Not sure I'd ride that bike with claimed 6,000 hp and a 4" wide rear tire. The tire would wear to the wheel before you got to the finish lights...

I just listened to a podcast about Turbonique. Look for Brian Lohnes' "Dork-O-Motive" podcast. I've listened to several, and they are fascinating. Lohnes is good to listen to, and he really does his homework.

If you really want to know the Turbonique go to You Tube, Motorsport Unlimited, Explanation 17, 18, 19 . That will take a few hours but you will know these inside and out.

Thanks Bruce, Bill was a amazing and talented person I will miss him. The only good thing is now the Odyssey will be saved and restored back to its glory days.

Thank you for saving it, John. He sounds like he was an awesome guy.
I saw that Darren also posted in the Facebook thread, too. Please keep us updated on everything

I finally got everything home its unreal what people collect this is pretty overwhelming but fascinating talking to the people who collect this stuff. We are talking about if they want a Turbonique display at MCACN next year we would do it

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. I was thinking that considering he was a part of the Motorsports community there might be some interest in putting his stuff in a museum with dedication to his name? Just a thought.
