Looks like he found something. Hey, if one is good, six must be better.

I'd hate to have to fix that if something broke.

But wouldn't it have been more fun to crank out one with maybe

cylinders that you can ride every day? That was my point. Time better spent on the open road than cooped up in the machine shop...

I think he built it because he could. I also agree with Uncle C that the man needs something to do with his time.

i'll bet it runs reall smooth. lots of small cylinders=gobs of smooth power, very un-harley like.
there's a solution to every problem.......you just have to be willing to find it.

Imagine having to pull start all those engines each time you wanted that bike to run?

With multi-motors, how would you know if one wasn't running?
