Like but looks like it would rip your head off and shit down your neck at the 1st opportunity!

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.

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

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?

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.

Drive belt is on the far side - the 'pulley' on the nearside of the rear wheel might be the brake 'drum'.

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.

Nah - belt drive was widely used until about the 1930s.Count Steer wrote: Thu Jan 26, 2023 4:30 pmI 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'.

It might be simply a slightly different diameter pulley so you can spin the rear wheel around for a change of gearing. Upon closer inspection I can't see any form of brake mechanism so I think that's what it is.
The engine maker's name appears to be _____ AT & Com. (or possibly ____RT & Com). I'm struggling to think of it.
