Aussie Gearhead's Merlin-powered Motorcycle
I remember reading about this back in the Eighties. An Australian engineer took two cylinders off of a Rolls Royce Merlin engine and built a motorcycle around it. It has 500 horsepower. I would dearly love to hear it running. I think the guy is brilliant. http://thekneeslider.com/archives/20...gine-for-sale/  ·  · |

Re: Aussie Gearhead's Merlin-powered Motorcycle
That's even more impressive. I can't imagine how he could do it. Just balancing the crankshaft would be way beyond me...
