He is also a chicken farmer in central Washington state: Chicken-poop bio-Diesel: "I've been making my own biodiesel since 1999. About 2006 I realized I wasn't riding my 1971 gas-powered Moto-Guzzi much because my biodiesel VW got the same mileage. The obvious way to get even better mileage was with a biodiesel motorcycle. Since I couldn't buy one, I set out to build one." Craig says: "I am impressed. Many of us talk about doing this but John Ousterhout is the only one I know personally who actually does it" | ![]() | |||||||||||||

The Diesel engine: "The engineis a 28 hp 950cc Diahatsu 3-cylinder, water-cooled diesel. I bought it new through Briggs & Stratton - it's used here in the US in large commercial lawn mowers. It's a commercial engine based on a small automotive engine found in small cars overseas but not here." | ||||||||||||||
