I actually saw and HEARD this machine. He was at the British Bike Meet in E. Hartford, Ct. in the late 80's. They spun the motor with a hand held starter untill it fired. It was the loudest motorcycle I've ever heard. The engine pulses vibrated your body as it idled. Loud, but what a sound! This guy is now working on setting some sort of world speed records as I recall.

I actually got to meet and talk to this guy in a restaurant at the Bathurst races one year in the 1980s.
We saw and heard it at the track and got to talk to him a little bit about it. He sliced 2 cylinders of a Rolls Royce aircraft engine and came up with this behemoth. In talking to him he was a pretty smart guy and a little interesting.  Not a bad effort.
