Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers. The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

A long time since Tony posted about this huge motorbike but I came across this YouTube clip while looking for something totally different, as you do. I checked to see if it had already been posted and here it was. This 'new' video was posted in 2014. I didn't realise the bike was in the Guinness World Record book. The clip gives more info on how it has been put together. A feat of engineering. Really interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McSikBdGghU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Nice to see the age old use of "Easy Start" Spotted this little beauty at The 2016 Goodwood Revival. Its powered by a tiny Gnome & Rhone radial engine (similar to radial engines used in certain aircraft only way way smaller). What a stonking piece of engineering

I think that was at the Bike Shed show in London last year too. Lovely little thing. Sometimes small is beautiful.

If you want small - I believe this engine is about 25cc, took the pic at Aberdare Park in 2014, I think the bloke's name was Martin. A mate of his found the engine in his garage and was going to chuck it out, so he took it on to find something useful to do with it - made himself a paddock bike!

Back in the 1930's there was a chap called Fred Luther who decided he was gonna build a bike to do 200mph (as you would.......) Power-plant - a six cylinder Plymouth Cool or what!!! http://theoldmotor.com/?p=136427
