BigBoyCycles Diesel Bike

That is one heck of an achievement! Frame alone must've eaten up a ton of man-hours.
I've always been a fan of diesels. Btw, not too many people realize that a diesel powered car almost won the Indy 500 back in the '50's or early 60s (a failed trans bearing DNF'd it towards the end of the race IIRC).
Anyway, looking forward to hearing more about that fantastic build of yours.
Thanks for showing it to us.

I think you're referring to the STP turbine car.....not a diesel ..just using jet fuel or whatever.
Nope, was a Cummins diesel all the way:

That's funny because that is about what I said on the PA last Saturday.
Awesome bike but I am pissed that I was so busy during the day that I
didn't get to experience the Big Boy diesel experience.

Hi Roland and Timm
I posted your awesome Bad Boy diesel on www.facebook.com/MotorizedBicycleRacing
Getting a lot of views and some questions.
What kind of mileage are you getting?
that thing is plain badass. but the clutch sucks Why did you use that crappy clutch?
Does it cause vibration?
Amazing! will someone please explain the choice of the saddle!?! I'm baffled
The masses want to see a video of the diesel running!
I am still pissed off that I did not get to ride it.....
Are you bringing Ol' Smokey to the 2014 April 12th Willow Springs go kart track RacEvent?
thanks!
