Awesome Diesel RAT bike!! .3gp

This MACHINE was seen on Thursday 23rd Sept 2010 at Stranraer port on his way to a bike rally in NI, it's a 1.4L Diesel Escort engine and basically a frame welded to it, here goes a description after speaking to the builder/owner..............
Left handed throttle, left handed front brake, left foot clutch, right foot back brake, right handed suicide gear shift on spanners, (remember it's a car engine and G/box, therefore H box, not sequential like a bike!!) and right handed.... well that's it for the right hand, just the gear shift...

Car back tyre and wheel, with shaft drive from the left hand drive shaft with the right hand welded up! The front wheel and tyre from a kwaker of some sort, with drum brake, as i said homemade frame, bars and swing arm. Well, actually it hasn't got a swing arm as such, as it doesn't swing.... the suspension is in the seat, unless you're the pillion and then you've got foam and gaffer tape!!!! And in my opinion the best bit must be the purpose built luggage.

Hope you guys enjoy it!

Not really interested mate as you seem to the health and safety police!! As you seem not to know the basic construction of a motorcycle EVERY bike that is water or oil cooled has its radiator at the front like the rat bike. Anyway ive spent enough time replying to your .... comment.

Ok, all that you need now is a one-eyed dog and a shotgun with no bullets.

lets hear that beast!!

Just imagine that water from radiator spilling on our crazy ryder during driving. Not safe construction if someone is interested in my opinion.

[juliannevillecorrea]

do you dope the diesel to reduce ignition delay for lesser intense vibration.. ?

[juliannevillecorrea]
