    T-55 Main battle tank engined bike; 38,000cc, 1000hp, 5 tons, 2 wheels

    Coming soon! You'll see this on the odd website around the internet once it's finished. Until then here's an exclusive photo of it in the build stage.
    A bit odd really.

    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    heh, people who make madness like this seem to be invariably men in their 50's who have big beards. One day I will be such a wooly-man.

    Why? Because you can! I think its a pity myself also... the engine should still be in the tank! Unless of course the tank was sold off as scrap metal by starving tankers!

    Well I could, but I wouldn't.

    And he certainly can't, christ look at the frame, it's an abomination.

    I could make a comparison with a gixxer, but that appears to be much more solidly built...

    I wonder what it will be like in the corners. Looking at the tyres...

    I don't think you could ride it the size of it with the front wheel. Terrible job on the frame have to agree that my sister could weld a better frame up.

    No argument there, it's just nice to see it done proper-like.

    Oooooooo k, well that's about the maddest bike ive ever seen. Who the hell is going to ride it? Andre the giant?
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    The point is you don't worry about corners. You just point it in the direction of your location and go there in a straight line. Roads? Psfft!
