1918 to build the largest and most powerful aero engine at the time.
They had previously built a V-12 engine along with a four cylinder walking beam airplane
engine quite similar to their racing engines.
This new engine was quite a ingenious and light weight power-plant in which they
incorporated new ideas along with practices that had worked well for them previously.
They also adapted other clever design ideas like the forged steel cylinder barrels along with
forged and built up cylinder head. This had been used by Mercedes in racing and road car
engines.
It featured one intake valve at the top and two exhaust valves below it in a vertical combustion
chamber, actuated by their walking beam system. It carried an air starter, two separate ignition
systems with both magnetos and battery distributors and it used four Miller updraft
carburetors. It was a very large sized engine, as you can see by comparing it to the helper in
the photos. It was a monumental sized 3393 c.i. (55.6 litre).
The engine was tested extensively both on this test platform and also in an elaborate set up
spinning three 300 h.p. Sprague electric dynamometers. A total of four were built for testing, however at the time there was not an airplane large enough to accommodate this engine.
One of the engines has survived at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum
Their side of the story is they tried to get away from the bikers, but the bikers continued to follow and try to intimidate them so they called friends and family for back up.
Being someone that used to ride sport bikes, I can completely believe the guys on the bike following and trying to intimidate a "cager."

I have ridden on a motorcycle all of 1 times in my life. I have never understood how a guy on a bike can intimidate someone in a car. My thought process is if I am in a car, and biker starts trying to hit me, ram the **** out of him with car. My 3000lbs car will sure as hell do more damage to the biker when I swerve into them, then their chain will do to my car.
Then again I give bikers room and flash lights when things are safe for them to move over and such. Mostly because I know to many people who have been in bike accidents to want to be the one to cause that to a biker.

I have tens of thousands of miles on two wheels.
1. The people in the car were hugely outnumbered. Of course, they would have to stop.
2. Most people aren't going to try to kill someone because they were flipped off or similar.
I've got 15k miles of experience myself. I will provide two observations from my experience.
1. If you ride a motorcycle, you will get cut off.
2. If you try to fight a car from a motorcycle, the most likely outcome is that you will lose.
For #1, significant experience, both riding and driving, provides the basis for forming habits which substantially reduce the likelihood of being cut off - though even for a very well seasoned rider, rule #1 above still applies as a fact. A rider who is unwilling to accept rule #1 as fact will either quit riding, or die trying.
For #2, I have "fought" a car and "won", but neither willingly, nor with the expectation of that outcome. Inattentive drivers are not your friend, but at least they stir easily.
Obligatory photos of motorcyclists...doing it wrong.
Initial dude on the bike got exactly what he wanted... a ******* fight. Pretty obvious that you follow and **** with somebody (regardless of what that dude did) long enough that he sets up an ambush... win stupid prizes.
And... rule # one on a bike... you don't stop your bike and bow up on a dude in his work truck if you're not looking for a fight. Bow up on some chick in her Honda... maybe. Dude in a truck... you better jump off swinging. He thought his other bike buddies would back him up and they were scared shitless when 'Merica showed up... which may have been their first actual experience dealing with adults. It's actually pretty good for everybody that 'Merica appeared to be containing the fight to just the 2 initial dudes and weren't letting it get any bigger. I don't agree with the double-tap kick to the guy on the ground when he was obviously beat... but something tells me he was still talking and wouldn't shut up, which is why he kept getting beat.
It actually looks like the initial offended biker thought the dude in the red truck was going to help him. And at the end, the guys on the bike still don't know when to quit and random biker #2 gets a second beat-down by the dude in the coveralls who (after he put the shotgun away) looked like he was rendering assistance to the dude on the ground. What kind of **** was that last dude talking to the most helpful guy in the crew to get his *** beat when the entire thing was basically over?
I love some of the comments:
that has to be one of the best LL vids. knocked that douche out with is helmet on. right on hillbilly. that was fucing great true american blood. could use a bus load of these of these guys at the antifia rallys
Of course it was staged.
The guy in the red truck was waiting for his cue and was dressed up in a hillbilly costume and then Tubby just happened to drive up from nowhere and gets out of the truck and seems to know what it going on.
It is all fake. Everybody wants their own show on Discovery and History Channel and will create these videos to see if anybody falls for them. All of them are terrible actors.
this should just be titled "Joy riding liberals vs. conservative working man"
I guess those weenies on the scooters never saw the ending of "Easy Rider" before. They wanted to run their dick suckers and got what they had comin'. The moral of this story is "**** around, **** around, go home cryin'".
onsidering hillbillies are from the Appalachia area and not Oklahoma.. what you're dealing with is rednecks.. REAL hillbillies would have just shot your ***.. trust me.. either way.. that's what the little **** gets trying to yank a MAN out of his truck.. **** off you ***** *** millennials.. get back to your safe place.
