Somewhere (can't find it) I have a print of a phot I took at Beaulieu of a motorcycle with a Volvo engine. Bloke said he built it 'to see if I could'. When asked if he was going to fire it up and take it round the demo track he said 'not till I figure out how to make it go round corners'.

Here's a coincidence, this week I went to see a guy about some ally welding and we got nattering (as ya do), and it turned out that he was the guy that built the frame for this 48 cylinder monster. He said when built it weighed a ton and a half (litterally) !!  Apparently it doesn't get ridden................. |

Reckon this twin-Norton powered street bike fits under the 'cool' category as opposed to 'wacky'. Really (really) like it..............  |

So lets go "eco" for a minute and have a look at an electric motorcycle. Somehow I don't think this is quite the motorcycle world's equivalent of the a Prius (?), but I'm open to be convinced otherwise................ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVv0NVLFPighttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killacycleand this is what happens when the normal rider lets the designer ride it...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pM1j2d1RMU |
