I repeat....No way

Where there is a will....

I repeat....No way

I guess there is a way....[S

 

[Sam_Fear]

Yeah, I don't see any brake light or turn signals. No way would I ride that on the street either! ....then again, being rear ended probably wouldn't be a problem!

I'd try it once, maybe twice.

A V24? What kind of airplane was that monster out of? I think they may need a little bigger rear tire.......

allison like the aircraft and the old school hydro plane boats.

look up ms.thriftway, ms.bardohl, slo-mo from the 60's70's hydros.

my grandfather in the 50's was a mechanic on the ones that ran on Lake washington, he'd tie arope around himself then tie it off to the boat and hang off the side at full song so he could adjust the motor for racing.

An engine stand with steering.

4 valve V12... two exhaust ports per cylinder. [ddd

Maybe when I was younger,.....but Im much smarter now.

Now that makes more sense. I knew about the V12 Allison's, but the 12 pipes on one side threw me a curve.......

And it has a trailer hitch! ???

But like the Viper V10 bike, no way you could ever full throttle it.

 

[Willowbilly3]

Actually, looking closer, I doubt if it's functional. I can't envision any kind of drive system, the axles would have to be coming out of the side of the engine and the engine looks like it's missing some stuff.

That looks like EJ Potter on that (MIchigan Madman).......Look him up. He just recently passed away.....not from a crash if you can believe that.

edit....Looking at the original pic, its not the same bike. EJs was jet powered....but wouldnt be surprised if its still him...He was big into the Allison engines too.

 

[Todd]

Great power to weight ratio.

 

[donsrods]

Isn't that bike the creation of Jim Lytle ? He created Big Al, an Allison 34 powered 34 Ford, and a Fiat drag car with the same engine.

He was kinda nuts that way.
