Well...I guess it's a work in progress!! I'm just wondering where the shifter is going to be?? Also, where would you PUT a fuel tank that would have enough capacity to make riding it feasible??

Not to mention that it is a mostly air-cooled engine, and would seize within 15 min. of first starting it without a prop or other cooling method blowing air across it. If you could cool it with just a rad. it would have to be a big one!

Neat concept though.

Not to be negative but things just don't look right. Could this be a good photo shop edit.
