Alternative uses for outboards

Smoking Sunday at Sammy Millers motorcycle museum in the New Forrest is a celebration of two stroke motorcycles. The video features two race bikes that use engines more commonly associated with outboard motors. At 50 seconds in, the bike that they fire up is a Koenig powered bike, the one next to it is Crescent powered.

If you are interested in motorcycles I can thoroughly recommend a visit to the museum, it is very well stocked with bikes and other exhibits from the pioneering days right up to modern times

Real screamer that Koenig. Must visit it...former Greeves 150, Triumph 3TA bathtub and YB-100 owner here - coveted my mates RDs. Failed my licence as the tester wanted the equivalent of a £30 bung. Good thing really; think was a sting, plus plenty of skin left on various roads, in foreign places.
Fasten bra straps and remove dentures...
