Roper Steam Cycles

The bikes are replicas of the 1884 Copeland steamer, and the 1896 Roper. I haven't steamed the Copeland, as its a long way to fall off, but run the Roper regularly. I've had it up to 40mph with throttle left, but lost nerve due to handling and minimal braking. It runs on charcoal at 225 psi and builds steam faster that you can use it. Sylvester Roper had a heart attack and fell off when riding the original, and became the world's first motorcycle fatality.
