| Read some time ago that a guy in Aussi took 2 clylinders out of a merlin for his bike I'm all for having a nice bike and all but to rape a whole merlin for one bike in my opinion isn't worth it

| One of the reasons its hard to get Merlins is the fact many were used by tractor pulls and other stupid crap and the use in these events ruined the engines . I think Calvin Weekes bought up a bunch of Allisons to prevent it happening to more and they are reserved for aircraft |
