You've got 2 rover V8s..... What about an X16? 
Kindest Regards,

Very clever........... can't see any way anyone will be able sit on the bike to ride it though which makes the project something of a huge fail
tbh.......

It looks a more compact engine than this one :-

I'm obviously missing something so where do your legs go when you're riding these things?

Or like this?
I understand how you sit on a drag bike but neither of the two above seem to have a long enough wheelbase to accommodate it!?

Staggering amount of work he's put into that.
Looks like he's machined down the webs of the standard bike crank to widen the big end journals so that can accommodate two con rods, and it
looks like he will still have to slim down the big ends on the conrods as well. It's an ingenious solution, but I have to wonder if the
resulting crank is going to be rigid enough and the con rods strong enough.

Is this the beginnings of a new craze, bike planking ?
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

And if you go back and look at the pictures properly you can see it's not actually a motorcycle more an engine on a crate, a set of forks, a bit
of the back of the bike and a couple of bits of metal......... so I'll let him off
Having just looked at his previous bike (Linky) I suspect
he's probably got a bit of a plan.......

Came across this at a local petrol station and had a chat, turns out he's just down the road. Its not just a show bike, he rides it on the road
most weekends. Direct drive (no gear box!) and capable of 260mph.
Christ!
