Would these actually work?
« on: April 22, 2010, 12:01:02 AM »
Someone sent me some photos of nice looking but possibly only prop bikes, I wonder if they would work?
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

Well, if you take 2 of the cylinders of those rotary plane engines, you have a HD.  ;)

Why wouldn't they??
I have personally seen a couple Boss Hoss (Chevy V8 powered bikes) on the road.
Owners said they ride great.
These look more ridable than a Chevy V8 bike to me.

Jesse James made one and it was ridable and someone else used a similar airplane engine.  Very Cool!

That last one is real as well.  I saw it on Discovery.
