What were they offering in exchange for the investment?

Reply #4 - 08/05/19 at 18:14:19 The good news is that when changing spark plugs........nothing will fall into the cylinder! They put upside down engine in airplanes years ago - I guess having the propeller up high while the cylinders were down low and did not block your view was a big advantage. I don't see the advantage in a motorcycle. This one is a diesel!
