wedg1e said: One of the bike mags (probably 'Bike' ) featured a home-brewed bike that had a Rover V8 in a Norton Featherbed frame, with a belt drive to the (pre-unit) gearbox. The owner asked them to be careful, but sure enough they broke it Ian Hardly surprising. Wonder which bit they broke, the belt, tranny or engine?

As I recall, they snapped the belt. It broke the urban speed limit on tickover...
