Are those aircraft cylinders on a custom billet engine block? For a ginormous cruiser that thing is pretty damn cool. Some of the motor pics remind me of a Vincent the front forks too- vintage and modern looking at the same time.... wow.

Has anyone found any evidence that one of these has actually been ridden? I couldn't find any YouTube videos or any other proof. They're always photographed on center stands.

Their web site shows they are in the process still of making a giant sidecar for it - so maybe one day it could be rideable. It will have a monstrous turning circle though.

I learned a long time ago, that many things are just "made" with no rhyme or reason as to being actually useful for anything other than attention, or saying "I made this". :wtf:

Personal motivations are a strange thing............

True.....some things are just fun. I don't think such things are stupid or anything.
I guess it's the Engineer in me that makes it puzzling.
