    Ex Britten engineer Wayne Alexander builds a new motor

    He's trying to build a 2 stroke motor with 4 stroke characteristics.

    ....he's obviously taken the rubber band concept by the horns...a two stroke with four stroke characteristics must be leaning towards the six stroke...surely...one and one are two and one more is three...um...yeah, five ...um no...um ...four.....

    Interesting- sounds like a plug for venture capital- where is the rest of the pitch and how many gamblers/entrepreneurs are there out there?

    Boring.

    Why do something the easy way when there's a harder, more expensive and cooler way.

    There is almost infinate energy stored in the atom which if able to to be unleashed in a safe and controlled format could provide a platform for the first atomic powered motorcycle. Think of it.....unimaginable power at the turn of your wrist! ......but then we already got that with the KTM RC8
