• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

That's a V-8 60, isn't it? 2/3 of a Zephyr V-12. A metric version was used in the Simca V-8 model in the 60s. Okay, I looked at the video, the center tap radiator connectors are from an earlier model. Most of the flatheads I worked on were '49 and later.

V8....
the 2 center cylinder exhaust exited in the middle... not a huge problems since the timing of each piston dumps its exhaust gases at different times... so one puff of exhaust enters as the other is leaving....
the center got a little hot, but this engine is one TUFF COOKIE.....

I figured that what it must be but the center pipe just didn't seem big enough to cover 2 exhaust ports.

It's a really cool bike and it sounds nice too on the video. But it looks like he will have to avoid any speed breakers being slung so low.
