Unless my eyes deceive me - that’s an Ariel Square Four engine. And Ariel motorcycles went the way of the buffalo before I was born. To take a magnificent engine from a legendary motorcycle manufacturer, and put it in a monster like that? It’s a sin against God, man, and nature itself.

Evil knows no bounds.
There's something AI-ish about that bike, from missing the front brake caliper to the too-small gas tank to the finned head (compared to other Google images of the same engine). Who knows, someone might have actually built it, but still doesn't look quite right.
ReplyDeleteAt least they didn't hack up the original Ariel. I'd like to think that maybe the bike got totaled and they saved the motor. I always loved the sound they made.
