Home-made V8 motorcycle
Though this looked interesting.

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Looks good until you rev it at the lights and the inertia causes it to fall over.

Years ago I had a Moto-Guzzi Le-mans, which for the uninitiated was an 850cc V-twin with the engine rotating along the length of the bike. Until you
got used to it, going rounding corners under large throttle settings it would either sit up ,or lean over further. With that V8 engine you would
probably either sit up straight and pop over the other way or bury the footrest into the tarmac. (Think of the inertia of a fore aft crank)
Looks fun though!!
