Cars and bikes I’ve come across in my travels

[helicopterjim]

Cosworth has done work for others in the past, Mercedes 190 E 2.3 -16V engine comes to mind.
Münch 2000 will never reach the status of the original designed by Friedel Münch.
Even Gerard Depardieu used the original for a disturbing movie....

Cosworth did design work on the original Aprilia Cube MotoGP bike and also the MGS-01.

With all that torque, the Munch would probably make a good sidecar tug. And then tow a caravan with it.

Sure could, sure does redefine the term ‘motor’bike

 

[Cosi]

Gotta get one…

 

[Legs]

Got one of those, it's got four wheels and roof, it is blue but.

Keep it simple …

Where was the picture taken? I love me a Mehari as you can tell from previous posts.

Not long until you are in Gods country Jo. Pop along to the Spanish border and enjoy the Pyrenees.

A couple of interesting ones from this morning:
Love the exposed pushrods on the radial. The engine apparently is made for scale model remote control aeroplanes.
Confused by the Yamaha.
The combined rear disc/sprocket was a new one, on me. Chain lube on the pads will sure stop it being grabby.
I guess it'd reduce unsprung weight, if it was sprung.

Do you believe that people ride motorcycles?

Yes, I've seen it happen.
I don't believe in gods, though, for much the same reason.

Would be risky ride as none of the fuel line have fasteners.

Mamma mia, there are some effing weird things people do in this world ...

I’ve seen that calliper on sprocket somewhere else before….. maybe a flat tracker thing???

 

[EncinoBoy]

Perhaps the Aermacchi roadracers in the 70's with a brake rotor mounted on the countershaft ?
Did I say Aermacchi I meant Hardly Ableson...two stroke that is..

 

[Vince]

ATK, a USA Dirtbike company did the same with that countershaft sprocket rear brake but incorporated a gadget that ran the chain on an upper and lower sprocket above and below the countershaft that took chain drive effects off the rear suspension. A mate owned one with a Rotacs 500cc four-stroke engine, I really wanted that bike.

That’s just stupid, even more stupid that on the rear sprocket.

Perhaps their riders said to put it wherever they wanted because they never used the rear brake.

Be better if they put it up the riders clacker then.
