Presumably they are infernal combustion engines on an aircraft. Can't quite match that, but our biggest motor is 27MW (about 36000HP) Not bad for an electric motor.133 BHP - just wait until you have 65000 HP at your finger tips ...

But I could be wrong. Best/worst bike I ever owned was a Triumph T140V Bonneville.
When it ran it was outstanding, but.....

John - presumably it is acceptable to post pictures of Pentax equipment taken with other than Pentax for "for sale" etc.

As with most things Stefan, BB code, ISO files etc, they are easy when you know how.

Oooh, I used to have one of them. Totally Italian - when it worked it was fantastic and you fell it love with it instantly...which was just as well, because it broke down constantly for one reason or another, and needed a new clutch every 3000 miles!Anyway - stop talking about bikes.

I assume you mean any bike made at the time. Even so, I'd beg to differ. Things like the old Weslake Triumph 8 valve twins....Mega machine - 0-60 mph about 3.5 seconds - blow any bike made,...
These days it's a joke. A modern 1000cc would get to 60 and nearly stopped again in that time.
Anyway - stop talking about bikes. I rode through all weathers for 25 years and didn't have a scratch to show for it. Still got a shiny red Ducati 900ss (which I was just about to trade in for a 916) in the garage and a shiny black one in the roof and living room.
What stops me riding them? An injury sustained cutting flowers.
