That was the one I was thinking about. Now THAT's a diesel bike. I wouldn't mind cruising down the road on one of them at all.

Can't remember where I read it, but there was a diesel mechanic who dropped the Evo out of his Fat Boy and replaced it with a small non-turboed diesel. Can't remember where he got the engine from, either, but he made it look OEM...very clean. He stated that the acceleration wasn't anything to brag about, but the 100+ MPG was.
