Bloody hell that silodrome is a proper rabbit hole of the weird and wonderful.
I'm utterly amazed at the amount of still crated bikes for sale. How does that happen?

He also did a 5 pot Kwaka Mach 1, my favourite of his multi pot Japanese conversions, although probably a bit banzai at my age now. His Kwaks sell at auction for the thick endmkf a hundred grand!

Im still searching the smalls in earnest for a Honda cub of some sort. Patience, grasshopper!

He took his glorious steam punk inspired "Flying Millyard" to the isle of Man and was on the same ferry as us. Saw him riding it round a couple of times as well as at the Jurby racetrack doing a parade run. I thought it quite telling that he'd ridden it up to Liverpool rather than it being mollycoddled in a van.

For those who are unfamiliar, it is a large V-twin using two cylinders from a 9 cylinder radial aero engine. Each cylinder is 2.5litres; this being the same capacity as all three cylinders combined in the modern Triumph Rocket 3, the largest capacity production bike

The Boss Hoss starts at 5.7 litres and upwards to a mind boggling 8.2, although the Rocket III counts as the largest mass produced factory production bike rather than a small volume niche production machine like the Hoss.

Ooh!
I found a nice updated '64 International Travelall, updated onto Chevy (diesel) Suburban running gear
