Really cool, he say what kind of mileage he got? You all run wvo over there?
another dutch odd creation
as you guys all know that whe build some different stuff here in the netherlands
harley based engines with matchless/AJS cilinders
others use ducati cilinders
whe have tony leenes the indian specialist who builds different stuff
whe have guys who build their own engines
guys who build trikes with aircooled VW engines and even a guy who build huge bikes with chevy V8 engines long before the boss hoss came out etc
but the other day i met this guy who builds bikes around diesel car engines
not my style of bikes a bit bulky ,but his craftmanship is awesome
(i was there to buy his old ford transit MK1 van which is equiped with a daihatsu taft 2.8l diesel engine by him )
and was able to take some quick shots of the bike and his new project with my cellphone
the engine came out of a volkswagen golf MK1
its a 1800 diesel with part volkswagen/ural/bmw gearbox and the driveshaft is the org. leftshaft of the volkswagen golf
frame /gastank and most otherparts are homemade and the front end is made out of parts from an old tractor

and this is his new project

this diesel engine came out of an old farm tractor
much lighter than his golf based bike
enjoy

I think diesel bikes are interesting.. gas is not cheap!

but that one looks cool as hell..

haha mads thats him (stefan) steve
i will tell him i will be at your place in july
see what he has to tell
i'll be in denmark with his old transit MK1 firetruck
that he molested
to put a daihatsu diesel engine in it
nope don't know how long it took him
but i bet it wasn't years
because whe have some things in common
he also has some ideas in his head and once they are completed ,whe don't grab a piece of paper
whe run into the garage /shop and grab tools and start making them
i always like meeting people like that !!
