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.
