Re: Airplane engine bike.....
There are a couple of radial engined bikes in the amazing Sammy Miller Museum. The place is well worth a look anyway but these two machines are quite remarkable - I almost walked past one before I noticed the odd piston arrangement. Neither are plane engines but the engineeering and latteral thinking is fantastic.

Re: Airplane engine bike.....
If you think the Torque steer from a boxer twin or Guzzy is bad, this would be horrendous!
Just revving it would have you on your ear!  Oh, and you get cooked riding it too! Last edited by Berlin; 16-05-13 at 09:18 PM. |
