I was opposed to the idea, but I'd test ride one for the fun of it. Technology still has a long way to go before I switch to gasoline, until then I'll keep my steam engines.

You could get the potato potato sound out of a pneumatic Harley. Some Stage I pipes on it to make it louder.

I think we are on to something here.

And I have access to a 4500 PSI compressor.

So instead of oil threads we'd start up "what type of restricter valve are you guys running for the best PSI boost?". Where do I put the gas cap for my air compressor when filling the tank?

Is the screaming eagle air compressor worth it?

Can you tour on an air powered sportster with a 3.5 cu ft air tank?

How many miles can you go after switching to your reserve air tank?
