Did anyone else read the article in Classic Bike Magazine last year about the 1930's German bike with a 7 cylinder radial engine fitted on the FRONT wheel? It seems that there are only a handful of them left and they have all been restored by one German engineer. The bike journalist tried it out, found it terrifying to ride along a local road in a fairly straight line. He was told
he was not to try turning it around under any circumstances. I think it was in the October edition or thereabouts.
It\'s ok , this will only take 5 minutes.
