just a bit of correction, the 1440 bike ( in german called “satte literschüssel” which would translate to someting like full litre bike ) the wheels are of a German vintage tractor, a few years back i saw a tv show where theyt showed how they built it, crank and transmission is Harley, deutz tractor barrel, german piston, and homebrew cylinder head, all made on old manual mills and lathes.

Some of these guys are true artists! My Genius friend Mark Boyd and I built and
tested a Solar/Electric/Steam powered motorcycle at the BUB meet at the
Salt Flats this last September. It was deemed too unsafe to race, but that was
perhaps just as well, as it was also pretty unsteerable. It was an engineering
failure, but in time, one of it’s progeny could concievably run on only sunshine
and rainwater…Search You Tube for “Bonneville” and “Blue Flame” to see a
video of some knuckle head wobbling about 80 feet, then falling over. Keep
thinking and keep building!
Cheers!

P.S. I will post here again with pictures of the bike.

I have been watching this guy’s videos lately on YT. In less than a month he has come up with two cheap motorcycles and is building a Chopper from Junkyard parts. Aside from 15+ videos he has drawings and such on the idea itself that look really great. I can’t wait to see how his frame comes out.
