Try this on for size! And the bike too!!

Gunbus 410 Cubic Inch V-Twin Motorcycle Completed.

The Gunbus 410 cubic inch V-Twin motorcycle is complete. The monster engine placed in a motorcycle frame of comparable size looked impossible and many who saw the photos were skeptical of the bike ever being finished but I guess, Clemens F. Leonhardt is one of those persistent guys who ignores the naysayers and keeps at his work.


The fuel injected, 45 degree 6728 cc / 410 cubic inch V-Twin runs through a 3 speed transmission with reverse and actually looks pretty good in its finished state compared to the initial photos, in fact, everything looks good. It puts out 523 foot pounds of torque. Seat height is 31.5 inches and overall length is 136 inches. It is a little heavy at 1433 pounds so high speed corner carving might be an issue and there aren't any photos of the big bike on the road so I guess we'll have to wait for the road test, that is if someone can actually road test this monster.

This is actually going to go into limited series production and a sidecar will be available as well which might help with balance when waiting at a light. I don't even want to think about a driveway tip over. Now, where's the video?

Where id you get that picture? It looks like it was this May when we went from Seattle to Sitka. Have to keelhaul the crew if they don't touch up those rust spots!!!  Here is the one we are going to fish this year for King Crab, leaving Saturday for the Bering Sea.

Nice colors on the boat...start painting one til you get to the other, turn around and start over again...
We fight it here 1 mile inland..a couple of weeks of easterlies then a light rain, sizzling transmission lines and arcing transformers..

How bad could the bite be from that thing?  Stonies are nice but crikey I need $500 worth for a meal..

I had tiny 3 lb Maine lobby bite me once and almost lost me finger... Thats why I kill all I see of the bloody bastids..

We must deliver them live. I f they are dead they are discarded and worthless. On a normal trip, out of 300,000 pounds or so, we might get 350 pounds of dead loss if were lucky. Once a long time ago my circulation pump in one tank went out and I lost 125,000 pounds. Not a pretty sight. There are four live crab tanks with four separate circulation pumps and four generators so there is quite a redundancy.
