Posted as an "interesting photo" on another forum. Anyone know anything about this? Look at the puny chain! Cliff.

I had to bite my lip to keep from saying something sarcastic like: Where the heck have you been?

Every self respecting SOHC enthusiast has at least one RC poster in their shop.

No offense intended Cliff. I mistakenly at first thought you were jokin'

I don't, can you send me one? Cliff.

Where the heck have you been?

Right here, working on my bikes. Cliff.

Hopefully you know, this is just good natured thumb poking. RC and the 12 cyl triple and the 8 cyl dbl (V8) are such icons of the genre.

I don't have any posters to spare, but here's shots of my 2, period pieces been hangin on my shop walls (3 different ones) since the 70s. Both of the V8, one with Russ smokin his ciar and hawking his legendary pipe.

He was a wildman. And seeing those bikes back on the strips again will be a hoot.

Looks good! Cliff

I have mine hanging on the shop wall at work. Russ even signed it for me, way cool!

You want 12 cylinders, check this V12 CBX with 2 banks of cylinders:

V12 CBX running down the road (alley)

And here is more on it. This thing is not so out there that it can't be a daily driver.

that thing would over heat so fast it wouldn't be funny. Only way to make it survive would be to run it pig rich.
