an update from the youtube channel made for this thread

edit: Slavvy, any local knowledge on this insanity? is he known in aus/nz?

Drysdale has been around for yonks, I remember reading about one of his v8s in amcn or a similar magazine back in the early 2000s. I've never met anyone who's ever met anyone who's ever seen one in the flesh though because custom made low volume motorcycles are rare and expensive and not many people had the cash to burn on one. He was most well known for either the 2 wheel drive dirtbike or the v8 but there were other things as well but I don't think anything was ever a commercial success.

No idea if Drysdale ran the whole shop on hope and dreams or if motorbikes were just a fun side gig. His old website here goes into a fair bit of detail about how the 2wd bike worked and what they're like to ride.
