Oh what a beautiful motor bicycle! These days it is so rare to see a motorcycle that actually looks like a motorcycle and isn't buried under piles of useless plastic. Beautiful craftsmanship and an absolute delight.
 
Hi .. Here's some more pics from the other day...DD

Wow! DD, that's fun! I expected it to be louder? Those short tubes always sound like they are blowing bubbles. Those early motors sure had a choppy sound, suppose it was the long stroke? Compared, your's is smooth as silk. Nice.
 
Hi Moto pope.....The engine is 250cc ...125cc a side...couldn't expect it to sound like 1000cc....theres nothing like early 500cc plus motorcycle engines with open exhausts...I was always at the dirt speedway watching the solo's and sidecar sprint raceing in my younger days....most of the race engines we had here in 1940-50's were J.A.P 500 singles and 880 Vtwins.....DD
 
Wow, what an awesome build!
Could someone tell me on what page, or approximately what the date would have been when the topic of tying the peddles to the drive system would have been in subject? Thanks
