  1. Whatever you do, make sure it makes you smile like him! Pure joy and passion, I love it.

  2. Some kind of buzz bomb engine. Probably a Skunk Works engineer enjoying his retirement years.
    Neat as hell, I’m going to look for more stuff from this cat.

    1. You should see his go carts, 3 rocket pulse engines only at 1/2 throttle doing 60 mph.
      All lit up cherry bomb exhaust.
      He looks like Rocket Santa , add a red suit , what a sight that would be.
      I got a grin a mile wide. 🙂

    2. The odd-shaped motor?

      The thing “buzzes” because of the shock-waves traveling in the pipe being altered by the “expansion chamber” / bends. No moving parts like the “louvres” on the front of the old V1 motor and it does not need to be “launched” off a long ramp to start. A quick wave of a leaf-blower or a burst of compressed air is sufficient to start the thing. Check out the similar videos from Colin Furze in the UK.

      This is similar to the theory behind the Karden exhaust system used on the early 1960’s MZ 2-stroke racing motor-cycles from East Germany.

      The exhaust pipes were tuned so that the exhaust “pulse” would interact with the pipe and develop sufficient exhaust-port back pressure to reduce the wastage of fuel-air mix. A high-revving two-strike engine: Remember them?

      Also seen on “Hot Saws”; essentially “racing” chain-saws.

      The “creative liberation” of machine and rider during a race was the start of Suzuki’s domination of that field for a couple of decades.

      The eco-nazis fixed that, as one would expect.

  3. I’ll stick to the Hawg, thankyouverymuch. Makes a less offensive noise & has cruise control. My beard is very similar, only it flows forward from the slipstream behind the windshield/fairing. Getting to the point where it’s starting to block my vision. I either need to trim it, braid it or wear one of those leather beard wraps.

    That said, it is kewl.

  4. The colour of that pipe elbow was making me nervous. Much too yellow for my liking. They get like that and they start to bend.

    Still, a hell of a ride.

  5. I aspire to be a fraction as manly…bloody impressive and no fear, all joy.
