Bfg Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Absolutely Brilliant.. It's not very often I laugh out loud but that bike and rider are such a joy to behold. Thank you for sharing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Great fun. I am sad I gave my Lister D Type away now. I would be concerned about boiling water splashing out the cooling chamber all over my lap. Cheers Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianc Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Rider likely wears asbestos underpants. How splendidly eccentric - definitely lightens the day. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peejay4A Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 You wouldn't want to wear your flared trousers riding that thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sadman Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 The 'D' is also reverse rotation. Don't ask me how I know, having just sold one at the Stoke Prior rally. One of the recently departed Keith Shakespeare's rallys'. I've also in my shed an Amanco 'Hired man' & a Lister A, both single cylinder, twin flywheel. Lister's 900cc, amanco slightly bigger, not sure by how much Regards, Doug Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hamish Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Love the drive “clutch” mechanism Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Vincent Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 When I was at school we made a go kart with a similar drive clutch mechanism. The engine (an old BSA 350 motorcycle engine) was mounted on a swivel so that pressing the 'clutch' rocked the engine and tightened the belt which made it go. It was deemed too dangerous for us to use in anger. Rgds Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
