    Radial engine bike by Jesse James

    got my latest CW at the weekend and the cover bike is a thing called "Radial Hell" built by Jesse James.

    a half scale radial aircraft engine stuffed into a bike frame.

    very very cool indeed.

    thats the link to the cover.

    you might find the story inside, and it must be on the WCC site (I havent looked).

    Jesse is the man!

    Looks amazing, wonder what it sounds like!

    I found some photos a few months ago of a chopper on a sturgis site that had the same type of radial engine but mounted in line with the frame - It looked even more wicked than this one..

    I'll see if I can find them - saved on my hard drive at work somewhere!

    The thing that makes me like Jesse is that he somehow married Sandra Bullock.
    He's a dorky nerd on TV but every night he gets to go home to her.

    Ahhh, wait until you find out about his former wife, Janine Lindemulder.

    Look her up at home, not at work...

    Actually that's the same bike. I saw these pictures over a year ago so I'm not sure how this suddenly became a new bike but it is very cool, I'll bet it's got some wicked torque steering characteristics!

    Uh, have you SEEN Jesse James: lots of descriptions I could think of but "dorky nerd" isnt one of them! He worked as security/bouncer for Slayer, fergawdsakes....

    he is the real deal. got where he is through talent, and hard work. walked away from his TV show when it got to be a PITA... married three times: childhood sweetheart, porn actress, movie star.

    I am a fan, not just because he was on TV, but in spite of that.

    also that bike in the metal is definitely the same bike, pre painting looks like. according to that article, he put 2000 hours into it, which is a LOT of hours.

    there are radial engine bikes too with the crankshaft across the frame, check out JRL cycles on the kneeslider.com



    here is the story that the "in the metal" photo above is posted on:
