    Oddest bike I've ever seen. I wonder if the rotation of the engine
    effects handling much? What little 'handling' a rigid frame around a
    show bike might have, anyway.



    This should be a usenet message id to a binary group. Dunno if you
    will all be able to view it.

    No, it doesn't work, but that's OK, 'cos it was already posted just a
    couple of days ago.

    Maybe it's had some brakes fitted since then.

    Doh!

    Y'see, I had minor surgery on my hand this morning and now I'm off
    sick for 2 weeks. Lots of time sitting here browsing, and *thought*
    I'd spotted a non ginge. Should have known better I spose.

    Oh come on...Barnard is suspiciously close to "Barnyard".

    Case closed.

    I forgave you.

    Disappointed as I was (I thought initially it might be a pic of T
    naked), I forgave you.

    I'm still of the opinion that the "engine" is fibreglass and there's a
    C90 lump inside it, thobut.

    In message <>, Wicked Uncle Nigel
    It reminds me slightly of the 'radial' three cylinder BMW engined
    three-wheeler built by Jim Challenger (also built the Tarkus
    three-wheeler which used to hold many hill climb records) that I saw in
    the car park at Curborough twisty sprint a few years ago. 3 beemer pots
    at 120 angles on a home built crankcase as I recall. Can't find a piccie
    of it on the interwebby thing for the life of me though.

    You want to get him interested in building a bike around a Rolls-Royce
    Eagle...

    Trigger finger(s). Brought on by picking clinkers off of too many
    arseholes.
