Custom hardtail with an aircraft engine
Isn't that something? An aircraft redial engine on a hardtail, I am just wondering how much gas it burns per minute lol.

Even with an aircraft engine the design and build make it a pretty cool looking bike.

I've seen pics of one with the engine mounted 90 degrees from that. Cool idea, wonder how she handles in the twistys.

This is not the only one I have seen, I have also seen another one with 90 degree mounted radial engine somewhere. They look tough!

That engine is made in Australia. Probably burns around 11 - 12 galons per hour. Radial engines tend to burn a bit of oil too. The Kinner in my cousins biplane used to burn 9GPH gas and 4 GPH oil.

That thing looks like it can really fly down the highway.

It'd be cool to see it painted as the Red Baron or Sopwith Camel.
