I stumbled across this on YouTube: a diesel all wheel drive motorcycle. I watched in disbelief until the end when the creator rode it, and then I laughed out loud. I think he's serious about it, however.

While the triples may smoke, they certainly don't "roll coal". I am with you Jim, exact opposite of what I want as well.

It's the black smoke curling back up behind the rider's shirt that got me laughing. Aside from looking ridiculous, imagine what you'd smell like after you ride to work on that thing. And notice that it handles so well he sticks his foot down to go around a corner.

I admire the engineering behind it, but it sure is ugly.

100% this

It looks to me to have been designed and built without any engineering. For example, the hydraulic pump is a fixed-displacement type, so it's effectively stuck in 5th gear.

Looks like he' using the same "EPA cheater" software that VW just got caught with.

1000% this (and I'd loose the car tires)
