Default A bike like no other
This bike was recently finished by Jesse James and debut at a show back around the first of May. It was originally concieved by a guy in Kansas that contacted me about modifying one of these engines to go in a bike. A friend of mine did all the machine work and the engine was modifications was done in my shop about 3 years ago. Kinda of worthless to ride, but wicked to look at.

Nope, Jesse built the bike. All I did was modify the engine so it would work in a bike frame mounted that direction which was a feat unto itself.

Wow, at any rate well done.

Does he actually ride it?

Whats the old cowboys story? Was he a pilot back in the day and flew a plane with a radial motor? Or did he just think it would be really cool?

The cowboy is the guy that started it and sold it to Jesse I guess. He thought it would be cool and far enough out there to get people's attention. He was right on that for sure.

It is not ridable yet as I have been told. Bike still isn't wired up.
