Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Don't worry - just add some chrome, a little bling, a shield over the oil filter and she'll be a beaut!
and maybe a fin or two....

It looks kinda like that contraption that my grandpa had in the back of his barn.
He filled mason jars from it.

Might have been an industrial engine. Reminds me of the air compressor when I worked at Clarey corp. That had about a 10 or 12 inch stroke and the cylinder looked like it would have about a 5 inch bore. The whole building shook when it was runung.

I have seen a couple hit & miss motorcycles guys have made. More like mini bikes but 2 wheeled. Saw them at Jacktown Antique Gas and Steam engine show I have been going to for about 35 years. I belong to the assn. too. Very cool seeing all the old stuff still going.
