If you are a Honda bike fan, Harry’s Garage about a year ago had a video with him riding a CBX 1000 with a straight 6 engine. I’m not sure how far over you could lean that!
It brought back memories because I remember a straight 6 something or other, with 6 tailpipes, parked on the street in Douglas IOM during TT practice week in 1977. Not sure if it was a Honda but it was quite something.
That might have been the Benelli straight 6, 1000cc bike?
It’s possible. My father was more into bikes and as I recall that memory now it does ring a bell that he mentioned it was Italian. It had 3 pipes each side stacked in a fan shape and as I look online at it, yes, the Benelli Sei could well have been it.
There used to be some amazing bikes on the island at that time of year and the other thing that stuck with me was the German registered BMW flat twin touring bikes with panniers, but also a single wheeled trailer like an additional pannier, as they came off the ferry. Perhaps for camping gear.
The TT itself is something else. I’ve never been big into bikes but the impact of the sound, speed and smell of the racing machines when you are so close to them, I found truly shocking. In a good way. I’ve not been to see it since my father passed away suddenly, not long after that visit.
I can confirm you could lean the cbx. My mates brother, who didn’t know where the oil filler cap was on his car engine, was given a cbx 1000 in boxes in lieu of a debt. To give him credit he then rebuilt the bike with the help of my mate ( and later went on to buy a motorbike dealership). It was a superb bike and my one regret is not buying it from him when he sold it.
I am sure people know but there is a guy called Alan Millyard (have a you tube search) and he does all sorts of crazy things with bikes. Probably best known for sticking a dodge viper in one… He also “joins” together Kawasaki KH engines … some cool stuff.
Yes, I remember seeing pictures of a straight 6 Honda. I’d probably be scraping the distributor cap on that one … 
One of my lottery win cars in my fantasy collection!
So couldn’t find a coupe, and settled for the quattro. Love it, great cars.
I live under one of the east>west BZZ light paths and get to see the A400’s (Atlas) overhead on finals at 2/3000ft on a regular basis, as well as the C17’s & A332’s.
The A400’s seem to be using Northolt quite regularly these days, either as in/out on the way to/from BZZ and ‘eastern’ Europe, or making in/out return flights.
PS: @Jamiewednesday
The A400 (ZM404) you photo’d at NHT last evening is now in Bermuda
That reminds me. A friend’s Bulldog should be approaching the end of its restoration about now.
EE Lightning?
Most of us just take home the odd pen or pencil from work…
I suspect a touch too much of LAN OCD.
EE1’s on every branch of ethernet, daisy chaned EE8’s, now experimenting with an
