Hi Snake Bite,
The picture on the left in your post is owned by a friend of mine, Roger Brophy. He currently holds the record at Bonneville for a vintage double Whizzer powered bike. There are several versions of Whizzers with more than one motor and several versions with motors with twin cylinders.
Roger's bike has the motors in-line, same as mine, and both use a timing belt to connect both motors. The front motor on both bikes are 7 degrees advanced ahead of the rear motors. Both double motor Whizzers use rear chain drive. Another version is owned by Kenny Thomas in KY and has the motors side by side and he also uses rear chain drive with a 3 speed Albion transmission.
Both Roger and Kenny use vintage motors, whereas Terry's Toy is powered by 2 new edition Whizzer motors. The twin cylinder [there are two of them] Whizzer, current location unknown, were both built by Ron Dow and at one point Terry McAllister had either one or both of them. After Terry passed away last year, most of his collection was sold at Portland, IN 2010 and just don't know where the twin powered bikeended up.
Roger's bike is named "Double Vision", Kenny's bike is named "Double Whiz", and I named mine "Terry's Toy", but I don't know if any namewere assigned to the twin cylinder powered bikes.
I have included several photos of the various versions. Terry's Toy is by far the fastest of the group, and has already exceeded 80 MPH on a GPS.
2 pictures on the left are Kenny's bike, center is Terry McAllister/unknown/Roger Brophy, 2 on the right are the twin cylinder version.
Have fun,
