I saw a guy at a LSR event in Maine in 09 that turned a trouble head 74" into one of these by using one cylinder to fill the other. You see a lot of wierd and or off the wall stuff at these events. Way cool. I'll see if I have a picture of it. |

EMC Motorcycles, late 1940's. Also check out the Hurley-Pugh website. This marque was quite popular in the UK |

Hmmmm, twice the number of moving, wearable parts for 30-35% more fuel efficiency? What's not to like? |

Yes, it is time to admit to it... I once paid good money for an Allstate (Sears) 250 twingle. 1966 or 67. Ran and ran, but it was slow and uncomfortable at speeds above about 40mph. Wait for it... Yeah, it mostly was super comfortable at the speeds it could actually go. Salesman had me convinced it was a two cylinder with a common combustion chamber. One day the head came off, and all was revealed. moron... |
