This pretty much sums it all up.  Very creative build!! :thumb: :bow: :cool: :boozing:

This "old engine" is a Lister D, a stationary engine built between the years 1926 and 1964 by a British company. Lister D engine were used to power various machines and mechanism, including water pumps, cement mixers, generators and more, but it's a rare for a Lister D to power a motorcycle as it produces only 1 or 1 and 1/2 horsepower. When a rat bike is combined with such an ancient engine a satisfying sound comes out. It's a kind of sound that you should hear to cheer up when you feel depressed.
