Talk about steam, when my 'ol man had the Museum at Maroochydore there was this huge book on engineering (circa 1890s) that had the drawings of a steam engine stationary power plant with its own concave mirror geared to track the sun through the daylight hours to provide high temp steam in a copper coil at the focal point!

I wonder if they were entitled for a rebate if they used it......

here's a good 2stroke pic, fairly simple and it shows the expansion chamber working.

I raced a twin pipe Jawa at Moorebank for a while that revved about the same as that.

So Pancho ya must have spent a shitload of money on modifying it??

 I was inspired by Les Fishers performance on a factory model, and bought a road model of a friend. The trick was the rider,not the bike.
 I lengthend the swinging arm to allow 19"  rims to be spoked into the original 16" wheels, got the specs for the ports of the factory model and modfied them to the same. It went reasonable but I dis-owned it  after it blew a crankcase seal at the top of the infamous "sorbent hill" and shot me off into orbit.
 It also had some other built in demons that needed mods.
