    from the scrap pile

     





    Consider this:

    A double offset six cylinder radial direct drive engine.

    Compressed air start, power cam design ( no connecting rods) computer controlled direct port injection, hydraulic valve actuators.

    Engine can operate in two and four stroke, hit and miss ( to charge the air tank ) coast, and brake modes.

    Driver is on one side, to counter balance the engine on the other side.

    Anyway, there's the concept model.

    if you like making experimental stuff go for it

    but if you really do want a car you can actually drive/cruise in then stick with more common parts and technology

    Your reply is more ridiculous than my post.

    Is that two front, one rear for best stability, Dave, or the traditional trike? Articulated & sprung to lean on corners?

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Nice work! What's on the other side of the gear on the rear? Just an oil slinger or shim?

    I just sold one of my favorite bikes of all time, an '82 Honda XL500R. Found myself face down in the powder one too many times, so I'm quitting before I break some bones.
