Yes, it’s a real thing, unlike this, yet

If Milwaukee actually makes one, I haven’t been able to find it for sale after looking for several minutes.

Despite it looking real, it may be an AI generated image.

The best remark to it I saw was one guy saying he was going to wait for the Harbor Freight version.

Personally, I’m thinking a hundred and fifty bucks buys a couple three nice Thermoses.

Holds 2 quarts instead of making two cups, for $47.50 apiece.

As a matter of fact I have several old Thermoses around here, some of them seriously vintage models.

But I do also have one of their Large Models like the one above.

There are very good reasons they are still popular all these decades later.

A lot of design, engineering plus trial and error must have went into this.

Very nice craftsmanship too.

I’m seeing more and more of these.

People are really starting to notice the desperation and the all out war against Trump and anything within his sphere that has screamed past anything even remotely considered legitimate.

These Demoncrats and their enabling MSM minions have started blasting their toes off at an increasing pace and it’s because they are petrified of Donald Trump.

Someone please explain this one to me.

I’ll be here waiting.

Because this stinks of inside job to me.

Some of the most creative people on the planet.

Start acting like it.

Fuck the Rules.

One Of A Kind, Hand Built, 500cc, 10 cylinder, Two Stroke, RADIAL Motorcycle Engine With 5 Roots Type Blowers Built Into An Integral Case!!

My very sincere thanks to Leigh for sending me the link to this article!

This story caused my jaw to hang open in awe at the brilliance, skills and tenacity of the guy who came up with the idea and then suffered repeated failures making it happen.

It is just incredible.

The exhaust alone is a plumber’s nightmare.

All crammed into an otherwise stock 1953 Motorcycle!

But this, is pure genius.

The concept alone of putting 5 Roots style Blowers into one integral unit is genius at work but then making it from scratch, is unbelievable skill.

The specs on it are so well thought out that when he got done building it and went to put it into the bike frame there was only ONE MILLIMETER of clearance.

Go read the man’s tale and get a good look at the tons of pictures he put up.

There is also a video of him riding the finished project.

All I wanted to do was give you a good taste.

BTW, he blew the thing up FIVE TIMES before he finally got it all figured out and finished.

Froze a toe to the point it turned black working on it in his garage in Czechoslovakia during Winter and got permanent Carpal Tunnel Syndrome cutting, grinding and welding the custom exhaust system.

The guy is just as stubborn as he is brilliant.

Must be from my Dad’s side of the family…

I’ll be here all day if you need anything else.

I hope he didn’t find this out the hard way.

Pity that, they would probably sell quite a few more.

Where Twerking came from…

Longtime reader and good friend Terrapod recently came across something that neither one of us can positively identify so he asked me to put it up and see if anyone else knows what it is and what it is for.

It appears to be bigger than I thought at first glance and in my opinion I think it is some kind of belt driven Two Speed transmission of some kind. A High-Low kind of thing.

The variable speed pully set up is connected to a clutch he says and it obviously drives a chain for something.

I do have to give him credit for taking way better pictures than I do so have at it and we shall see what you guys can come up with.

It looks plenty heavy and having a cast iron case tells me it’s fairly old.

Whaddya got?
