Whilst looking for something else I came across this mad yet interesting creation (apologies if posted in wrong section, but I thought this was the most relevant):

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OEe6c3KIUB4&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OEe6c3KIUB4&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Yeah, I know it looks like that but I think it maybe just a delay in the sound track (could be wrong though..... :eek:)

There's some vids of that bike on YouTube too, sadly with no decent soundtrack though, least not that i could find. The guy that built that has built a number of 'specials' such as the Kawasaki V8 mentioned below and a 1000cc four cylinder version of an H2 Kawasaki 2 stroke...

Yes, there's a few different versions of those floating around - I think the original was 'The Beast' that John Dodd built in the UK, and that ended up with about 2 or 3 different bodies. There's also a really nice '55 Chev in Aussie that has Merlin V12 power..... nice to see there's still plenty of crazy engineers out there!
