[Shotimes] OT: motorcycle spotted with BIG engine

[bjshov8@comcast.net]

In Baton Rouge, Louisiana- spotted a motorcycle in the parking lot with a Chevrolet 502 big block in it.  The strange thing was that the engine didn't look all that big hanging underneath the gas tank, although they had a pretty big gas tank above it.  The engine was mounted longitudinally, whereas I have seen some drag bikes in the past with the engine mounted transverse.  The torque reaction when you hit the gas must be pretty severe with a longitudinally mounted engine.
