Build a V-8 bike something like this one but convert it into a 3,000 cc four cylinder by using only the two middle cylinders in one bank and the two outside cylinders in the other bank. Replace the superchager with turbochargers. Locate the turbos, fuel and water tanks, and intercooler underneath the rider. Enclose the fork, handlebars, and front tire with a dustbin fairing.

I am the Engineering Supervisor and the Corporate Mfg. Engineer for an automotive (Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Nissan, Honda, Chrysler, Honda, Mazda, Jaguar) plastic injection molding company, and it is rare that I come across the kind of ideas that you post.

With that said, I have to ask. What the heck do you do for a living?

I am a technical writer by profession (O&M manuals, training presentations, etc).

If you want to see something really rare/unique go to www.landracing.com, click on "User Picture Posts" and take a look at the Propster pictures.

This is a shoestring budget land speed trials car/prototype I should be able to get up to Maxton this year.

It figures that you have that type of background. I used to write tech manuals and operator instructions for the last company I worked for.

I am heading home now, so I will check the site out tomorrow (still resisting buying a home PC). Maybe we will see each other at the track.
