August 14, 201610 yr U.R.S from Helmut Fath, Trident factoty and RC 166 of course Franck. The next item on YouTube was the full one and a half hour version of that RC166 item where they strip it down in front of an audience and interview what was clearly those involved in the day. If only someone could put English subtitles on it?
September 22, 20169 yr it would have to be my Honda RC30,that bike sounded beautiful from warm up idle to 12000 r/pm and my 1968 Porsche 911 fitted wth a 2.2tuned engine coming back from LeMan at 6 a.m my Honda 1993 RS250R open class racer round Oulton Park.
September 30, 20169 yr Perhaps the most emotive engine sound is that of a B17. First it whines as if it does not want to go, almost as if it know what lays ahead, then an odd cylinder or two give a pop and a puff of smoke, it whines some more, then more reluctant pops and smoke as it come to life before the misfires finally cease, the smoke clears and it settles down to a steady beat, purposeful and ready for the task ahead. This is not just an engine for a bit of fun on a Sunday, it is an engine that is part of life and death, an engine that will take many to a fiery end, and return others to contemplate their likely destiny.
