    Fuck me. I bet thats a bitch to tune
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    That's what I thought too... but look at the detail. The cabling to the clutch cover, fuel tap to RHS carb hose etc. Not quite convinced either way, the practicalities of it defeat me, how you'd actually build that (if it exists).

    doubt it, there's some right clever bastards out there (I'm not one of them) and there's been a few similar bikes built in the past

    I think he also made a 48 cyclinder 2 stroke from many KH250s. I had a pic somewhere ... dunno if it ran.

    That would be Allen Millyard. Awesome engineer.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Is it my poor eyesight and imagination or is it labelled '666'? (see kickstart)

    And does the bike's concept come from this:

    Motorcycle songlist:
    Best blast soundtrack:Born to be wild (Steppenwolf)

    The middle digit isn't a 6. Looks like 606 to me.

    Talking of the kickstart, is it my imagination or would it foul on the footpeg on one side, and the engine block on the other?

    If it's like my bike, then the footpeg just folds up. If that is true then there's plenty of clearance, look at the angle on the starter?
