What is your question ?

What is your question ?

You see, JR: this engine business is more difficult than you thought.

Yes, I suppose it is. Still, i'll give it a go.

An engine is often a device which converts useful money into vapor- similar to a boat, but slower.

 

Have you seen http://www.animatedengines.com/ ? Some nifty steam engines there.

An engine is merely an object (mechanical or organic) that converts energy. Steam being the most efficient for work produced. Excepting a few minds, all engines require more energy to run than what is realized. It is exhausting.

a description of a basic engine could be something like:

Simple, but hardly a thing of beauty. I should have specified, The Basics of A Beautiful Engine.

 

Was talking to someone today who was telling me how advanced and far ahead of its time his Sport is/was.

And no, I don't mean a V11 Sport or a Sport 1200. I mean a single cylinder unit with one oil system for the whole bike with minimal but visible moving parts.

Hey I dodge the pies these days! But I am looking forward to an uitsmijter in Sibbe!

 

My definition of an engine is something that pisses oil on my garage floor and takes all my cash.

I meant to edit the definition in that post. Edited now.

Dont let Pete's complicated explanation get you fooled. It is really quite simple.

 

And BF, they won't be the first (or last) to prefer a good head-boiling over a conversation with me.
