It doesn't run, it did pre turbo, but as far as I know it hasn't run since the current owner put the turbo on, it's now a show pony.

A GSXR1100 dirt bike anyone?

Probably more rider friendly than the CR500 I rode years ago!

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Board-track pace bike? Not seen one with dual-seats though.
Presumably the guy in front is steering, while the guy on the back is controlling the speed!

I've seen that before - think it was on Spin's web site, for 'L' training?
Even bland can be a type of character

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
It looks like a fairground 'wall of death' show type lash-up. Although the drive belt is on one side there's a pulley on both sides. The motor actually does look like a ditch pump and where's the exhaust? That pipe on top looks like it's connected to a distant carb and there's some sort of choke device in it by the cylinder head. Oh, and the artfully attached cloth underneath must be to catch the oil drips.
The lettering on the boards suggests 'travelling show' too.

I think there's a wheelie bar at the back

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Drive belt is on the far side - the 'pulley' on the nearside of the rear wheel might be the brake 'drum'.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I saw the belt on the other side but didn't see anything that would act as a brake or anything that you'd use to activate it...unless he sticks his boot on that 'drum'.Rockburner wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 4:25 pmDrive belt is on the far side - the 'pulley' on the nearside of the rear wheel might be the brake 'drum'.

That engine and belt drive definitely says 'farm' to me though.
I think they've cut an actual bike in half to make it.
