The sun was finally out today and so was an absolutely mint condition 1957 Chevy Belair convertible in the Alice's restaurant parking lot and a gaggle of Ferraris parked across the street. Us old guys really liked that Dino. Photos attached.

There hasn't been a lot going on at Alice's restaurant lately, but last Sunday this very clean and somewhat heavily modified, including a very loud "muffler", 1978 Honda 6-cylinder CBX showed up. BTW, the bike had 60K miles on the clock. Current motorcycle collection: 2002 Yamaha FZ1; 2020 KTM 390 Duke; 2009 BMW F650GS; 2018 Zero S 16.6 kWh |

My local high school had its yearly fund-raising auto show yesterday. Attached are a selection of photos that I took while walking around the event.

Now here is a really neat home-built motorcycle. I wonder where he managed to source a 360cc 7-cylinder engine? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksAkLcfswfc

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #290 Quite the novel idea, a fan cooled radial engine. Should work great while at a standstill, I wonder if it adversely affects the airflow while at speed. Some proficient engineering but I don't get the instruments in a position that you can't see while riding. Frank

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #292Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #290 That is a really neat engine. My guess is that it is designed to be used for ultra-light propulsion.

Someone on the Royal Enfield forum found these two photos of an interesting 1930 Peugeot radial engine-powered "board track racer".

Today parked at Alice's restaurant was a new BMW 1300GS. That is a new BMW color scheme for me. Kind of a British racing green with gold colored wheels. And of course, when it comes to the new headlight design "X" marks the spot. I bet Elon Musk loves that design.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #297 What's the story on the 2-muffler thing? |

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #298Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #297 I think that is one of those very expensive official BMW factory accessory mufflers, made by that east-European company that begins with an "A". I guess there are now two mufflers in order to keep the overall size of the noise-compliant muffler in control. Two smaller ones instead of one large one.
