Yes, but if you know what the bike is, and you tell, I'll have to kill you. :vroom:

Damn! I was going to drop down there today but didn't get going. Knowing Shay, it could be any mixture. :vroom:

It's a mixture alright. And a very strange one.

My first words were "what the fupp is that!?".

Apparently so! :vroom:

It's a70's Honda, 500 we think. And the engine is a 10hp engine from a 1940's light aircraft. It's scary looking! The back wheel is driven by a chain connected directly to the fly wheel by a cog. It has no gears but relies on a suicide clutch affair (I guess the further you push it, the more it engages) which appears to be attached to a block on the fly wheel itself. :lol:

plus the normal clutch. It was all a bit confusing!

I tried to find some kind of manufacturers mark on the engine but there wasn't one.

I'm in the process of uploading a video for like-minded engine nuts. :lol:

It actually runs after sitting in a barn for around 20 years.

I didn't ask. :lol:

The present owner asked Shay if he could get it running. I wouldn't imagine it'd go fast enough to blow the cobwebs off it. And there's no shortage of them. :vroom:

Well i was guessing from the shape the crank case looks very flat, not bike typical, then the fact that it is not really flat more a very flat V left only one solution

Still can't believe it .... :lol:

.... just writing it down felt just weird

Well you were spot on. I didn't think anyone would guess.

At first I thought it was BMW engine but it looked all wrong.

It still looks all wrong.

More important can you ride it with a bike license or do you need a pilot license for it :vroom:

Question, "What is it?"

Answer, a mobile limb remover, :vroom:

, jaysis, you'd want to keep the aul flares well tucked into your bicycle clips on that yoke !! Id feel safer waving a chainsaw around the place with one hand tied behind me back whilst drinking straight absinthe and smoking crack.
