    Here is a picture I took close to the main stand at the 2007 TT, its an Adam,s family bike. Either that or it was made from an old German Sherman tank.

    Are you sure its American?, by the looks of that starter motor it could be off an old twin tub washing machine.

    The Sherman tank was definately American. The Germans most famous tank of the war was the Tiger series.

    I prefer the sound of “Sherman the German” but I’ll bow to the mighty anorak.

    And there again there ARE tank engined motorcycles.

    This one is reported to have an engine from a Russian Tank.

    Certainly looks a beast.

    Of course for something different again:

    What about aircraft engined bikes
