This motorbike known as the Rapom is built by Nick Argyle.
The builder said that the bike was spawned “from the unusual marriage of convenience and naivety”. After the chassis of his monster truck was sold, he actually used the left over engine to build this motorcycle.
Tipping the scale at 454 kg or 1,000 lb, the Rapom is equipped with a 8,2-litre supercharged Mopar V8 engine (tuned by ICE Racing) that runs on alcohol producing 1000 - 1200hp (depending on blower speed and fuel used).

The Craftsman tool shows how a machine can either be improved, or repaired, to better than original with a bit of tool know how. That center punch wouldn't be there if the machine's design had been adequate, and it's still there because it can handle the job.

I love a stack of books or magazines that just state "Car guys welcome here"
