What a trip, I don't think even the guys at OCC could have thought of that one!

I found an article on the bike here: www.motorcycle-usa.com/294/1258/Motorcycle-Article/Customs-JRL-Cycles-Radial-Chopper.aspx

Some dummy put the first one in sideways.

Radials go this way.

No worse than a Harley knock off bike with an open primary belt .... and I bet it idles smoother!

I couldn't imagine the torque on that Triumph when you crack the throttle open. Would feel like the bike was rolling over.

With improper throttle management you could snap roll that Triumph.

The military radials I flew had a bad habit of throwing jugs- right thru the cowling. If this one throws the appropriate jug, you may not have to worry about birth control!

Many years ago and for a short time a friend of mine owned an old Convair airliner ..... I don't remember what engines it had but they carried spare jugs / pistons just for occasions like that. I remember asking at the time .... doesn't it tear up the rod or case when the jug departs? The comment was not usually as most of the cylinder stayed intact and only the head part of the jug actually departed. Still that is one large chunk of aluminum and steel flying around.

Like most bikes of this kind, I doubt it gets ridden very much and then only for short distances.
