Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

Uses Chevy parts in a 90* 2 cyl.

I don't know if you're going to use Chevy parts might as well use it all.

People who confuse etymology and entomology bug me in ways I can’t put into words.

I think that's a Starbucks espresso shot bottle.

I guess a lot of caffeine would be a good idea - that's gotta be an exciting ride.

Those two bikes require a man with nuts the size of grapefruits to ride them! I in no way qualify to ride such a machine!  :))
You boys better hold on cause I'm gonna have to stand on it!

In the town I grew up in as a teenager a local mechanic built a two wheeled motorcycle around a Corvair flat 6 cylinder engine. He stopped entering it into wild bike competitions because he always won. Darned if I can find any pics in my personal photos or on-line. Not at all practical - the exhaust pipes coming out the bottom of the cylinders had very little ground clearance, meaning they scrape on anything more than the littlest banking.

My dad asked him once how fast it would go. The guy admitted, "I got it up to 105, and was afraid to go any faster!"
