Has anyone ever built a straight 6 motorcycle?

I seen it at Davenport, Oly, or Rhinebeck sometime ago. They did a story of finding it in Walnecks or maybe Kanter had something to do with it. It's back east somewhere. I seen it on a trailer with more than enough patina. Yes Fred I've seen the machine you keep bringing up. He did a masterful job I might add and I just did.

This just in from one of my Scandanavian buddies.
A Spanish version.

This is the bike I was talking about. It is definitely a 230 Chevy six. He later started manufacturing them with Chevy 4 cylinder engines.

OK, this is the one I was thinking that you were thinking of. I like the Spanish version better. I'm not really a chev guy.

Do you have more pictures (stills) of that? Especially frame changes/stretch?

How did you do the power train? That bike is amazing! The "Honest Charley" V8 was pretty cool, but yours hit it out of the park.

Cheers,

Tell me that wasn't at Rhinebeck today.... Here I sit in pouring rain and it's sunny and gorgeous in that picture.

Amazing bike!

Dick Winger also had an inline 6 cylinder until his unfortunate passing last year. I really miss him.
