Just thought I would share this one with the forum. It has twenty-four cylinders with multiple SU carburetors and lots of spark plug wires.

oh yeah, there they are. i assumed those three carbs fed both banks and the header tubes would have to come out of the top of the upper bank, opposite the carbs. so i guess there would be more carbs under the tank.
That bike needs some mirrors...

Quadrophenia style!
I don't know what's more silly, the bike, and the ____ sitting on it!?!
I dunno.. that's a photo chop if you ask me.
You can see the "upper bank" of exhaust tubes directly above the three carbs, so that means the upper carbs should be feeding the heads the same as the lower. I dont see any trumpets near the tank.
And what's whith those elf boots?

And a reject from Sha Na Na sitting on top.
Try tipping one of those beasts in the driveway.....you would have to call the whole neighborhood to help get it upright.
Triumph racing department: Nigel -"Bill, we've got a bloody demon of an engine in the works......power like
mad.....off the charts!"
Bill - "Brilliant!......how does it handle?"
Nigel -"Oh....um....did I mention we get another 20mph in the straights by exhaust
propulsion alone!?!"
