Whilst on the page viewing that bike  I looked across at the other strange engines. I take my hat off to people who can build the likes of this and it runs well.

Now the Fairbanks engine in a Triumph chassis that would be a piece of engineering! This sort of lunacy is what separates us from our ape cousins (and Jethro).

If you click those links above and look to the side on youtube at other engines there are some very intresting ones. Jet engine made from coke tins. Turbo converted to a jet engine reving to 170000. and the diesels are worth a look.
