Radial Engine Powered Motorcycle - The Kneeslider

There was something like that on the cover of one of the motorcycle magazines not long ago.

I personally would not be caught dead on it. If I'm on a cruiser, it had better have a v-twin engine in it.

I am currently working on a Turbo-diesel variation of a C50 twin. I am having some problems and having to work out things, so I won't say more for now.

If it works, the mpg's should be great as well as the HP/Torque output.

I will post more as I go along...

I saw that radial powered bike up at the EAA in Oshkosh a couple of years ago.

Also saw one of the first Polaris motorcycles at EAA, Oshkosh.

And you thought they only had planes there.

Oh and diesel airplane engines, from the Czech republic, if memory serves.

Also happened to see Chuck Yeager and Carroll Shelby, as well as some unknown who flew the SR-71.

Well Dave, if you were dead you wouldn't be on it that's for sure. Hehehe
