[Tigers] Tiger Conversion (Norton Diesel)

[drmayf]

Man, just visualizing a GM V8 diesel powered bike... can you imagine 
kick starting it, lol!  No tranny required, just direct drive and a 
clutch. Tipping it oven on ya when getting on or off would likely be 
fatal! The trike with the boxster type engine was nifty though..
