Well now, when we had a 1936 "Liner" cement mixer in our farm yard, I never ever thought that it's Lister "D" upright engine would find a home in a motorcycle. . . Hmm, goes to show you never can tell! And those engines will plod along, day in, and day out, without missing a beat. As for cooking food in the water hopper? Absolutely true, and the builders used to boil eggs in ours, then, come break time, hot egg sandwiches and tea, or coffee. If you wanted the deluxe cooling system, you could get a version with a radiator and fan, using thermo-syphon to circulate the water.

I've never understood the rat rod/ steampunk aesthetic, but that is one heck of a bike right there. It looks fantastic (if a tad overboard on the patina for my taste) and has tons of character. Plus, it can make a solid lunch, so I'd say it's a super-nice ride. o7

Original steampunk was a great aesthetic. Unfortunately it was taken over by people that didn't understand it, and started making everything clockwork/using cogs and stuff as buttons everywhere for no discernible reason. You know, how a lot of stuff is ruined. Thankfully dieselpunk is largely untouched by these types.

I have the idea of building a diesel powered motorcycle using a 7 horsepower Lombardi air cooled diesel engine. It looks like you pretty much built your own frame and just used the forks and rear of an existing motorcycle. Your frame nicely accommodates the extreme height of your engine. I hope to modify an existing frame, but we will see how it goes. I like yours a lot. I think it shows not only a lot of building skill and talent, but a lot of creativity. Very nice!!

[@lvhdmya4807]

Royal Enfield sold a bike like that with a Lombardi diesel (375cc iirc) in India for a few years, plonked right into the Standard Bullet frame.

This has become my favourite YT video. It scores so many points in so many areas. Ingenuity, humour, style, artistry & artfulness, etc. And you have the essence of steampunk nailed. But the start system has to be of especial note. Anyone else might have just made a place to clip the handle on the frame. But incorporating it behind what looks like an electric pushbutton labelled "STARTER", that is sheer genius. Steiner (Lief) = you aare briiliant. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@waynemullally6423]

I loved the way your push button opened a door plunking down a crank. Reminded me of how many times I kicked started my z50 so many times, eventually wearing down the kick start shaft to a nub and the handle flying off into the rhubarb. Been very concious of wear there ever since. Nice crank!

С другой стороны, сцепление работает на нажатие, а не на отжатие. Так и нога устанет педаль держать. Что-то по мне, так для 36 года какой-то мотохлам на колесах.

I believe this is the same brand of frame that Alan Millyard used for his V-twin, 5 liter, flying Millyard. He used 2 cylinders from a radial airplane engine, and made his own crankcase, rods and crankshaft, and almost everything else, except the pistons and cylinders.

The original owner bought them, to run, at the Boulder Dam, on the Colorado river, between Arizona and Nevada. (I think the dam has been renamed since.) They were hand-crank start, and had a compression release for each cylinder. One was 2 cylinder, an other was 3 cylinder. All were water cooled. That was in the '70's.
