I met this guy on at a bike night in late July. He's just like he is on
this video. Humble, smart, funny, open and fun to talk to. I originally
just wanted to say hello to him because I'd seen part of this video and
the next thing I know almost an hour had gone by and we were the last 2
bikes still there. (mine is restored as original 82 Honda Magna V-45). I
think what he did here is astounding. You don't meet someone every day
who made their own engine. You read that correctly.
He made the engine. He didn't assemble an engine out of parts
manufactured by others. He carved molds out of wood and took the molds
to a foundry that cast the parts out of aluminum. And then he did it
again but made the engine bigger. One has 13,000 miles on it, the other
has more. Reliable, clean and leak free, and the sound is just as
remarkable as he describes it here. I'd love to see him make a living at
this but he says to many people that say they are exited to have one
fizzle out when it comes time to write the check. He needs a closer.
