    This is too cool

    I know it's not Buick related but I just had to share. Please see the attached file. For those of you who are non-aviators,the engine in the bike appears to be an air cooled 9 cylinder Pratt&Whitney radial engine.They were used from WWII up thru the 50's. It produces about 1400 HP stock.

    Cheers!

    Some of these may be Buick-related! Buick built radial aircraft engines used in WWII bombers.
