Impressive looking beastie that .... but I'm guessing the efficiency and range are less than might be hoped, and it probably isn't really as powerful as it looks, though I'd love the chance to find out for myself. Perhaps the main drawback in my mind is having the drive chain running in such close proximity to the inside of my left leg, as I can easily see bad things happening in that vicinity.

Think I like this set-up better, in most all categories of range, efficiency and practicality .... except of course in brute Harleyistic apparence!



But then perhaps the Steam Hog really is a far more capable machine than I'm giving it credit for here, it just "seems" to me, less likely to be ... all that!
