    Man builds ‘World's Biggest Motorcycle’

    The “World’s Tallest Motorcycle” has been built by a man in Stockton, CA.

    Greg Dunham's 11-foot high, 20-foot-long motorcycle took three years to build. It weighs around 6,500lbs and is steered from a cage below the handlebars.

    Dunham said he created the bike because his friends said it couldn't be done. "People love it," Dunham says. "Fifteen guys came from out of nowhere to see it. One of the guys said build me one!"

    The Guinness Book of World Records describes the bike as the world's tallest rideable motorcycle.

    There is a downside, however. It's not exactly fuel efficient, averaging 6 miles per gallon, and the tank only holds 3 gallons of fuel.

    Bike Stats

    • Height: 11 feet, 3 inches
    • Length: 20 feet, 4 inches
    • Width: 10 feet, 6 inches
    • Tires: 74 inches tall, 36 inches wide
    • Engine: 502/500 hp
    • Transmission: two speed
    • Top speed: 65 mph
    • Weight: 6,500 pounds
    • Time to build: three years

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    If he fitted some handlebar raisers he could break his own record

    USD300,000 on what? Something that can't corner, and can only travel 18 miles...

    Talk about mines bigger than yours

    Bloody hell, its bigger than my bike
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods
