Nitro doesn't add power, it multiplies it! Bob Loux, running 10.07 secs @138mph on a 650 normally aspirated Triumph drag bike in 1965!

All of them superb, with Dslam's offering indeed a thing of simple mechanical beauty, and whilst it's visual simplicity is what makes it the stand out piece of kit that it is, the execution of same would have been anything but simple....so an old fashioned sentiment,.. just smashing!!  ...........Morrag |

Somewhere I've got a photo I took about 20 years ago at Motorcycle World - but you'll have to imagine it cos it's buried in one of the boxes of old photos. It's a bike with a Volvo V6 or V8 engine in it, the bloke said he built it just to see if he could. When I asked if he was going to take it round the demo track he said not till he found out how to make it go round corners!

A six cylinder Henderson, circa 1930. Reportedly a factory prototype, but some question this. The factory were making the four cylinder (as used by many American police forces), but this was the time of the great depression.......... Personally I like it .............

Page 1 included the 48 cylinder Kawasaki, well here it is again (maybe with a new owner?) firing up, eventually, after 5 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McSikBdGghU |

The builder of this has taken a Lister "stationary engine" and made it mobile...…….. The starter button is, in my humble opinion, a nice touch (check it out in the video). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xePknD5eQgU |
