It's not really my 'style', but you've got to admit that's an interesting engine!

[ChrisW]

Not my thing either but it's beautifully made.

I found the [Wright] cylinder head on ebay and thought it was pretty neat looking so I decided to build a motor around it.

Fair enough.

I'd happily have a go if he'd fit wider bars, I've ridden a few bikes with those really narrow ones and didn't like it at all.

I like that its not the usual formulaic brown seat wank. Top marks for the ludicrous engine

[Count Steer]

With the single drum brake 0-60* is slightly quicker than 60-0.

It's immensely silly.

I quite like it.

* If it will reach that before shaking itself to pieces.

I'm still trying to work out which lever is the clutch.

[Skub]

Very well done in every way. I'm not a chop fan at all,but due in the most part to the engine and the obvious craftmanship,that's pretty cool.

Twist grip probs

Not my cup of tea at all, but you have to appreciate the Millyard-esque engineering quality of the thing...

I can't even begin to think just how lumpy a 1700cc single cylinder engine is though!

[Taipan]

The more i look, the stupider it gets, yet i kinda like it for that!

[Mr Moofo]

For what it is, it's ok - no flaming skulls, no howling wolves and no naked women.

[Sadlonelygit]

I want to be somewhere near when(if) they start it!
