This is quite possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen. Wonder if he needs to have a tanker truck full of fuel following him to keep it fueled up?

Wow I really like that. With all the chopper shows that are on tv these days, this one is a real show of ingenuity.

West Coast Choppers built a bike with the same type of engine, except the engine was turned sideways. I saw the bike in their shop when I was in Cali.

Seems like the back cylinders would get hot from lack of airflow. I have seen them turned the other way. Makes more sense for cooling purposes but kind of awkward.

Spun,

That thing is sooooo cool. It was written up in one of the magazines about a year ago and I just loved it. Way better than the one with the sideways setup.

Did you see that at Dream Machines in Half Moon Bay?

Pretty cool!

Harley big twins to this day still pays homage to the radial engines of yore. That's where the unique 'potato-potato' sound comes from.

Found this link. It appears that was not the permanent solution.
