This guy probably has most people beat on the cylinder count with just one vehicle.

Quite the mechanical and engineering feat. Beyond that, not sure what to say. Wonder what kind of mileage it gets.  ;D

Terry,

I'm sorry, I was not referring to your interest in the CJ360, to each his own-

No, I'm referring to the gentleman in the photo straddling his V-48 cycle.

Too much time on his hands (even if, admittedly, those hands are quite skilled-)

3 392`s dayum!!!!!

                       "392-HEMI, Lots of history there. Anybody who knows much of anything
                               ought to know about the Legendary Chrysler Fire Power 392!
                               Not to mention the Desoto "Fire Dome" & the Dodge Red Ram

                        Some of the numbers mentioned and WHAT some of them are makes my 85
                                 not seem as impressive, course most of mine need working over.           
     
      Got some Hondas, Yamahas, Suzukis, 2-jawas, 1 CZ, 1-Kawasaki, 1-Hodaka, 3-Weed Eaters, 
      1-push mower, 1-18hp 2 cyl Riding Mower, 80' Honda Accord, 94' Plymouth Grand Caravan
      (3.3 V6) 99' "Southern Comfort" Dodge 1500 Conver. Van w/360 That's it. Later on, Bill

                  ( If I could get them all running and fixed up, I would need a warehouse.)

I reached my peak of manhood need after getting a six-cylinder 1983 Kawasaki ZN1300 Voyager. Now I prefer little 50cc jobs which is just as fun and a lot cheaper.
1969 Honda CB750, two 1970 CB750, two 1972 CB750K2, 1971 CB500, 1975 CB550, 1976 CB400F, 1968 CL450, 1973 CL450, 1974 CB450, 1970 1/2 SL350K1, 1971 SL350K1, 1972 SL350K2, 1972 CL350, 1972 CB350, 1983 CB1000C, 1976 Kawasaki KZ900A4, 1976 KH500A8, 1979 KZ400B, 1983 ZN1300, and so on and so on...

At present its about 38, in the last year, have 25 at present, unless I forgot something (counting YZ250)
