He drove it to my house, claimed had it wound out on runway at 45 MPH!!
I cautioned him against going that fast, the tires are pretty ratty looking, can almost see tube through the cracks. He rides it regularily.

That's glorious. Hit him over the head until he fits better rubber though. Falling off bloody hurts, I know.

The MAW is quite a popular engine for European collectors, I presume it's reasonably reliable. How is the sprocket fitted?

From the Tokyo Cycle Design School, 2012, the Silver Chariot



22cc Honda 4 stroke in Japan. The rider had to get registration as a moped since the bike can run without pedalling.





This is about as rare as it gets, early 1950s, a Japanese licence made Lohmann compression ignition engine.

This lovely modern vintage fake is listed in several Brazilian pages as being an English bike, grandmother of them all. I haven't got the heart to explain to them.



"Vintage style" on sale in Brazil.
