i've actually seen that bike in person. i lived in sanford when i was going to AMI back in 2005. it really is a well built, nicely finished motorcycle. jack is a great person to deal with too.

Is the front motor for show?  I don't see any way power is transferred back to the rear wheel.  No chain, no shaft.

"Everything is controlled from the front rider even tho the rear engine is the actual runner."

I'll bet it has pretty good range, being a 250 with two tanks.....

Wonder how it handles 3-up?

What's the point of building a "2-engine" bike if you're only using one  ???  Yeah, I agree a waste of welding rod.
