Wasn't it Jawa who did a 'supercharged' 2-stroke twin/triple? The middle cylinder didn't have a plug, but instead acted as a compressor for the other two cylinders. (or something).

IIRC it was one of the few bikes that could be heard clearly in Liverpool when being caned over the Mountain course....

The airflow over the rear barrels might be interesting.

I quite like the premise, but not some of the details.

A fast lap with the crash helmet and coverall set- this concentrates on Speedy Harold Hill, just 18, working by day in a used motor parts shop, and racing his motorcycle Sundays. There's his special kinship with and tenderness for Anne, his younger sister; his attraction to Gunner, whose feeling for Harold is one of power inseparable from the lure of speed; and finally his maturing love for Sass and the possibility of a future together assured only after Harold's crackup.... A fairly sketchy story is streaked with wind and dust and smoke, a sense of danger- and urgency, and the special language of this special world of youngsters in a hurry. This too keeps it exclusive.
