I like the Jag V12 bike but i agree pinto power may be slightly more economical and user friendly
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Brilliant!
2 comments caught my attention in the blurb....
1. The bike uses the engine as a stressed member (ingenious).
2. The exhaust has already set fire to my leg (dozey)

I like the bike, though using the engine as a stressed member...isn't the block made from cast iron? wouldn't it be prone to cracking?
like lugs snapping off, especially as the rear doesn't have any suspension. Just a thought.
Fame is when your old car is plastered all over the internet

I think you need to have a look at some old tractors

They needed a whole page to put "Omg what a horrible car. Seriously don't touch it with your worst enemy's. Crap brakes and if
someone bumps you from behind the fuel tank will set on fire"?
