I thought of that after I posted that last photo. These are interesting mechanically, but practical? NOT! I believe that the 'Comfort Factor" would be pretty low, sitting astrid one of these monsters trying to enjoy the ride on a Sunday Afternoon.

Status: offline 		Those radials will run on just about anything that burns. I believe 80 octane was the lowest we could run on the 985s, and a motorcycle engine isn't going to be pushed as hard as an airplane application. I bet that thing runs on auto fuel just fine.
