I'll bet VocalNeal never thought it would run this long when he kicked it off ..

I just liked the look of the original bike so I posted a picture. Who knew...

Just don't think that is period MV crank and rods.

Probably isn't mate but it turned up in a load of stuff tagged MV and I thought that is a near thing of beauty so I'll be having that .. 

On subject of 3 bangers below is a pic of a new gen' 3 pot GM unit sporting all the latest tech .. 

Direct petrol injection .. 

Variable valve timing ( purple arrows for the solenoids ) ..

Note the exhaust manifold ( yellow ) has but one outlet all the ex' ports from the cyls merge into one in the casting process .. 

Dual chamber intake manifold .. 

C o P ignition .. 

Circular component on r/h side of fwd camshaft housing is a vacuum pump for brake assistance ..

It is physically quite big if you look at a 1000 bike engine and not as powerful as even the most docile thou' bike at 80hp .. 3 bangers are all the fashion now in the city car sector as the wisdom see's them as more fuel and emissions efficient ..

Caproni Cento flat twin .. Put this up a few pages back but this one in that gunmetal colour is cool .. 

Caproni Vizzola WW2 Fighter .. Never went past prototype stage and to be honest reading the spec's it weren't all that anyway .. Good pic's are rare though there are some write-ups on it ..

Pink= best camouflage when good cloud cover

 

Admitted, Goggle is your friend, first time today I heard about a pink Spitfire

Correct Guzzi 850 .. painted pink to blend into dusk and dawn skyline usually for photo recon' as far as I'm aware and K T M Jeff was pretty close with Pink Land Rover's and B P also got it also with the vid' .. But good game , good game as Brucie might say ..

Nope. They were spy planes that flew at dusk/dawn.

1959 Mitchell 50cc 4 cyl stroker .. 

Check out the size of the carb's and hanging piston compared to the size of a plug , the fledgling expansion chambers and the clutch assembly .. Oh and the tank ..
