    ...This is a video I get a kick out of, some here might too. I'm always amazed when people actually do their own serious engineering and fabrication jobs to come up with something completely unique.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjZJfr2QkZA

    This guy grew up in India, was of course familiar with and owned Royal Enfields, since they are made there, but he said he always loved the sound of a Harley V-twin and wished Enfield would make something like it.

    Well, since that wasn't gonna happen, he took it upon himself to do it. Used two Enfield 350 single top ends and designed his own block, crank, etc...made himself a 700cc V-twin he calls the Musket...

    Sounds great, if you have any appreciation for the single pin crank V-twin sound (which I do)....there's other videos of it in the frame and being ridden.

    But I gotta smile every time I watch how joyful he is at hearing the thing actually run and have the sound he was looking for.... :D...gotta be an amazing feeling of accomplishment...

    I personally don't care for the sound (untill they get moving) but it does look cool and I can appreciate the work that went into creating something so unique.

    I didn't look at it yet, but from your description I'm gonna guess it's the 48 chainsaw motor bike video?

    Good for him. That's something I don't have the knowledge to do.
