Dennis,

You may have seen the following bike in some magazine within the last few years, but there's a guy in the L.A. area here that took two T120(can't remember now if they are pre-unit or not) motors and put them side-by-side to make an across-the-frame four. I've seen the bike a few times at the Rock Store or at bike show around here.

It's actually very well done, and seems to run pretty well too. But it's also pretty wide.

And speaking of multi-engined beasts...
There's also a guy(haven't seen him for a while) who built a twin-engined Ariel Square-Four(yep...eight cylinders in all)a few years back, who used to make the So.Cal Hanson Dam British Bike Run every year on it. It has a belt that runs between each engine's middle power shaft(the shaft between each engine's two cranks).

You should have heard THAT one!

Cheers,
Dwight
(Why? Well, I guess it's kind'a like, as Sir Edmund said of Everest...because it's there. Or in this case...because you CAN!)


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)
