Connect 24 Dolmar chainsaws to a 5-speed Harley-Davidson gearbox, and off you go.

I read elsewhere about the top speed being 200 mph, and a 0-60 time of just 5 seconds. Can't find that article though.

It usually takes me about 10 minutes to start my chainsaw so that's 4 hours to get them all runing (neglect the first few running out of fuel) and then you're off!

The original post in 2004 had links to the site with much better movies, but they all seem to be dead links now. Much better than that youtube thing. If you could lipread in German, then the rear facing camera would seem to indicate that the rider was praying at one point.

I still think the JCB diesel record car with two 4-cylinder digger engines is better!!!!

I run two Dolmar saws - very good product, reliable, powerful, always start when needed, the last time I used the smaller one it had been in storage for 12 months, It started 3rd or 4th pull.

All the Makita petrol chainsaws are made by Dolmar, as Makita own Dolmar 100%.
