    We get our fair share of exotica outside the local cafe, we don't do bad.

    But today, this is the first time have ever seen a 5 Litre V-Twin ! the dude made it himself using two cylinders from an aircraft radial engine.

    I f you were told to close your eyes when it was started up, and asked to guess what the vehicle was that you were listening to - it would not be - motorcycle !

    Amazing what people get up to.

    It is !

    Electric start ?
    No chance. Starting it up appeared to begin with getting a lever and a little oil can out of a box !

    Made me laugh when it started, as it made a terrific sound that I have never heard come from a motorcycle - brilliant.
