Overheard at a HD dealership

Went to the Harley shop the other day.. to get some parts for my Valk.
I was on the Valk.....
 One of the salesmen was outside for a smoke break, and said"  Cool Valk.. shame they quit making them".  He walked inside with me and he started telling other folks about the Valk, and how it was "bullet proof,and don't try ta run 'em"
But then.. I've been going to that shop since they opened, and they know me when they see me...but that was the 1st time I was there on the Valk
 I have been treated worse at honda shops...  
Trust me... Harley dealers are not worried about the Valkyries..  not now anyway.. they have been out of production WAY too long to be a threat to their sales...

This is not a Harley,....so is it a moped?

Gunbus 410 cubic inch V-Twin motorcycle



The Gunbus 410 cubic inch V-Twin motorcycle is complete. The monster engine placed in a motorcycle frame of comparable size looked impossible and many who saw the photos were skeptical of the bike ever being finished but I guess, Clemens F. Leonhardt is one of those persistent guys who ignores the naysayers and keeps at his work.

The fuel injected, 45 degree 6728 cc / 410 cubic inch V-Twin runs through a 3 speed transmission with reverse and actually looks pretty good in its finished state compared to the initial photos, in fact, everything looks good. It puts out 523 foot pounds of torque. Seat height is 31.5 inches and overall length is 136 inches. It is a little heavy at 1433 pounds so high speed corner carving might be an issue and there aren't any photos of the big bike on the road so I guess we'll have to wait for the road test, that is if someone can actually road test this monster.

This is actually going to go into limited series production and a sidecar will be available as well which might help with balance when waiting at a light. I don't even want to think about a driveway tipover. I think this is great! Now, where's the video?

I want to hear that 410 CI v-twin sing!!!!! talk about potato potato,,,,
