mullet is still fashionable on the 'mainland'!!!! .
Good one ruder.

 

lol x 2

Thanks for the pic!

 

woaaaah! What in tarn-hell is that? Is that real or photoshopped?

 

If y'all haven't taken the time, it is a 24 cylinder. Valve adjustment anyone?

 

Just keep away from the hot bits.

"For sale: 2 piece Asbestos suit"

 

If you look hard its two V12 engines on either side, like >< So thats what... half a litre per cylinder. And talk about a hell of a noise!!! And I don't see the gear shift leaver, but who would need one???? Who needs gears when you have a 12 litre engine under your crotch!?

 

look like a set of old plane motors to me

 

you know I doubt this "bike" coud run very long: - Look at the size of the fuel tank in comparison to the motor! It'd need a constant supply of fuel from a petrol bowser...

 

mmm somehow i don't think he had in mind the daily commute into work...
might get a little hot around the leg area too

 

Wouldn't want to drop the thing. You would never get it up again...

 

*cough*........ground clearance............

 

Heh heh. It's amusing reading all your posts when you know the bikes real history... But I think I'll let you guys figure it out yet.

 

ok then give us the bikes "real history"

 

A workmate has had a large poster size copy of this print in his workshop for years. So it has been around for a while.

I can't see if the tyres are flat under the weight of those engines, but at the risk of making a fool of myself, I would have say the engine is sitting on chocks. It also doesn't look like its steerable.

I s'pose someone will prove me wrong.

It was an ad in a '60s British bike mag for dunlop tyres "HAS YOUR ENGINE OUTGROWN YOUR TYRES"

??????????????????????????? WOULD THAT BE CLOSE???????????????????????

Not bad. Something like that. I read (from where the pic is)

"Think it was Avon Tyres promo mock up circa '78. Caption
read something like 'It doesent matter how big your motor is if your tyres
dont work'"

But i doubt that it works. Not practical, even possible if you think about it?

The real information has probably been lost somewhere in the space-time continuim though. Maybe some one from NASA will bump into it next time they're up there

 

As if NASA actually gets up there, have you heard the conspiracy? Apparently, the moon really is made of cheese and that nobody actually ever walked on the moon - its all in your head! <!-- s:alcoholic: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_all_coholic.gif" alt=":alcoholic:" title="Alcoholic" /><!-- s:alcoholic: -->

But when I first looked at the bike I thought it said 1200cc, then realised it was actually 12,000. I just went - faark! <!-- s:-? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_Eyecrazy.gif" alt=":-?" title="Eye Crazy" /><!-- s:-? -->

Would love a bike like that, though. The bigger the bike, the better rep you get! Woohoo! <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_roll.gif" alt=":roll:" title="Rolling LoL" /><!-- s:roll: -->
