Isn’t the history of this motor completely missed in the article? This motor was the inspiration for the Miller-and then copied by Offenhauser. Which was raced from the teens to the eighties in Indy-road racing-midgets-etc. This car is the great grand daddy of all American racing.

I had a buddy come over from Holland-he got one as a rental. LOVED IT!! Couldn’t stop raving about it. He was trying a figure a way to import one back home.

I say a a yard jockey does one in before it even gets delivered. (Although that one might not make the news.)

No-those are primers for gasoline. There was no chokes back then-and carbs were updraft-and cranking speeds were low. So a few drops of gas dripped in before starting-open the valve+ starting is possible.

Look how high your feet will end up. Gonna be fun to climb in+ out of.

The same shumck that cut workers hours so he didn’t have to pay insurance. And got caught underpaying drivers. http://kycir.org/2015/08/07/papa-johns-to-settle-claims-it-underpaid-delivery-drivers-in-six-states/

I was wondering more about the fluid in the tranny.

RAPH!!!WHERES YOUR HANS ?!?

This isn’t a ‘self driving motorcycle.’ This is a robot that can climb on a bike + ride it.

Yea-I haven’t been able to get a Datsun 510's for a 6 pack of Molson + a couple of joints like I used to ...

I’ve wanted to get one + put a 3 cylinder diesel out of a Kubota tractor in it. On Veggie oil. It would probably get 100mpg.

Which is the market for $200k “ruff” offroad trucks that will never get dirty.

Gawd-so much stupidity.

Loved it!! Especially the car number!

Raph-any reason for the pick of the number? Askin’ just cuz......

Well—yes and no. I have earned a living doing both. They each have their place. I worked at a auto machine shop building race engines. Every motor went right on the dyno. We needed to know to the tenth what it made. Because we did this regularily, we were set up to do so quickly. (These were pushrod v-8's) So ho are…

Nooo-air density, temp, humidity better be taken care of in the correction factor of the dyno of itself-automatically. (Also a way to cheat the final numbers.) These correct to a SAE set number.

He really IS one of the nicest guys you ever could meet too.

Great story-great writing!

I HATE ALL OF YOU!!!
