Hot Chop Speed Shop's Twin-Engine Drag Bike
By Joseph Coelho

This drag bike is a throwback coming our way from Japan.

 

 

Ha ha! For sure! And while I think this is super cool, whenever I see a double engine build, I wonder as to whether it wouldn't just be better to build one powerful engine? I know the twin engine concept works for boats and planes, where reliability might be more of a concern, but for land-based vehicles, does the concept make any practical sense?

 

the bike doesnt look bad, but the commentary is nearly unreadable. What turned me off is when they state one engine is from a "late model sportster" and the other from a touring bike. Bullcrap. both are ironhead sportster engines. Giveaway is the valve covers and STRAIGHT PUSHROD TUBES. Where do you find these hacks?

 

Kick start.....wow, serious old school. Good luck at Bonneville, I would rather save it from the salt and just run it on a paved drag strip.

 

That bike would shake half its parts off before it reached the 1/4 mile mark.

 

 

^^^^ Ya beat me to it.

 

I will NEVER forget seeing the Hogslayer TC rode.

 

I may have. But given the level of journalistic professionalism in general, nothing would surprise me.
