from the scrap pile
Consider this:
A double offset six cylinder radial direct drive engine.
Compressed air start, power cam design ( no connecting rods) computer controlled direct port injection, hydraulic valve actuators.
Engine can operate in two and four stroke, hit and miss ( to charge the air tank ) coast, and brake modes.
Driver is on one side, to counter balance the engine on the other side.
Anyway, there's the concept model.
.

if you like making experimental stuff go for it
but if you really do want a car you can actually drive/cruise in then stick with more common parts and technologyRegards

Is that two front, one rear for best stability, Dave, or the traditional trike? Articulated & sprung to lean on corners?

I just sold one of my favorite bikes of all time, an '82 Honda XL500R. Found myself face down in the powder one too many times, so I'm quitting before I break some bones. Originally Posted by Dave Severson
