I just heard a harley joke last night from a guy in the hospital I was visiting. He was in so much pain, and yet it made him really smile, so I'll share it with ya..actually it's kind of a oneliner and you all may have heard it...

"Did you know that 90% of the Harleys ever made are still on the road?"...............
"no...really???"
"Yea, the other 10% made it back home." Laughing

Thats aside from the fact that if you actually turn it it will cost you 1000 bucks in new billet valve covers. And I thought I loved torque.

yes those radial engines were well known for torque effect (wanted to turn one way better than the other due to gyro effect) you can do lots of cool stuff if money is no problem, sigh, not my problem

Do all radials have an odd number of cylinder? Is it a harmonics thing? just curious. Also the castings on these engines are a work of art.

I would gear it at about 1200 rpm at 70 in high gear and just dare any idiot to run me on the expressway.

If you had a scaled back version of that so you could actually make it handle on the street. The design has to get excellent cooling. Shove two of those cylinders parallel to each other and you've got an xs. Is that why they built em that way? WWII fighter plane technology?

WWI stuff

Engines built for airplanes had to produce plenty of power while remaining light in weight. The first American planebuilders—Wilbur and Orville Wright, Glenn Curtiss—used motors that resembled those of automobiles. They were heavy and complex because they used water-filled plumbing to stay cool.


Gnome rotary

A French engine of 1908, the "Gnome," introduced air cooling as a way to eliminate the plumbing and lighten the weight. It was known as a rotary engine. The Wright and Curtiss motors had been mounted firmly in supports, with the shaft and propeller spinning. Rotary engines reversed that, with the shaft being held tightly—and the engine spinning! The propeller was mounted to the rotating engine, which stayed cool by having its cylinders whirl within the open air.

During World War I, rotaries attained tremendous popularity. They were less complex and easier to make than the water-cooled type. They powered such outstanding fighter planes as German's Fokker DR-1 and Britain's Sopwith Camel. They used castor oil for lubrication because it did not dissolve in gasoline. However, they tended to spray this oil all over, making a smelly mess. Worse, they were limited in power. The best of them reached 260 to 280 horsepower (190 to 210 kilowatts).
