Hey! Not so far fetched. We hadda a guy here in our ward a while back that
modified a large block V-8 to run on steam. For his beta model, the boiler
was mounted in the bed of a pickup. Production models have more efficient
boilers behind the back seat of SUVs. Your guy may not be so lucky with the
motorcycle though - he may run into a weight problem with all those
batteries. Now, if he could put them in a little trailer to pull behind . .
.. hmmnnn.

I had a visitor yesterday who responded to my craigslist ad about a
free 200V 7.5 HP 3 phase motor. A pleasant, intelligent young man. I
asked him what he was doing with the motor, and he replied that he was
going to build an electric motorcycle. His plan is, apparently, to
have a motorcycle based on batteries, inverter, phase converter, and a
3 phase motor drive. I just could not believe what I heard. (and still
have doubts about his veracity) Am I going crazy or does this sound
like a completely insane idea to you?
