Feh. It's big but not new. Twenty years ago a bloke by the
name of Lucky Kaiser here in Oz cut off the end two
cyclinders from a Rolls-Royce Merlin aircraft engine and
built a 5-litre V-twin around them. The clutch plate was so
heavy he had to use compressed air to move it (for some
bizarre reason people assumed the bottles were for nitro -
on a 5-litre motorcycle?). I first saw it - in a manner of
speaking - at the Sydney motorcycle show in 1985 (I think).
It still had a fair bit of development work to go and when
he took it outside and fired it up the front two rows of the
crowd simply disappeared in blue smoke. I hope I still have
that photo somewhere. Three years later he brought it to
camping grounds of the 1988 Bicentennial Rally in Canberra
and he took people for drags on it. I have no idea of its
fate but I heard his next project was a bike that went
around corners.--

You can say that twice. I saw a fellow named E.J. Potter at
Irwindale Drag Raceway in California on a 327-cubic-inch V-8
Chevrolet-powered motorcycle forty years ago. Lots of smoke,
lots of noise, and well over 100mph in the standing-start
quarter-mile on the crappy tires of that era. -

round corners can do that sort of thing, it does seem even
more pointless

Yeah, Rammstein with a bit more electronic manipulation. I
saw Rammstein a few years ago, it was an AWESOME show.
