What next? A motorcycle that goes thru the water like a boat? :scratchthinking:

Mike--
Hook that back tire to a prop, or the chain directly to the prop. Put a ski under the front wheel. set the whole thing on a plank of wood and you might be able to do it. :thinking:

Just don't forget your life jacket. :wine:

The Alabama flag in the background seems to authenticate it.

No, apparently that poster is fake and has been added to the photo. I must say that it looks more like German architecture than Alabaman architecture to me, but I have only spent two days in Alabama!

The Germans do seem to have a thing for wood bikes:

I recieved the same picture in a e-mail a while back with the title "Redneck Harley". I really don't think Harley Davison would appreciate the humor. :roll:

Somebody took the term "Ratbike" a little too seriously. That is one nasty lookin' piece of equipment!!! :thumbdown:

I'll bet it drives like a tree too.

The license plate on the VW next to the Alabama flag appears to be european.
Or is that just me?

The cobblestone is kind of a give-away too. There aren't THAT many locations in the states that still have it. Plus, the width of the sidewalk and street suggest Europe.

I know sure as hell tough that it AIN'T Ft. Lauderdale.

Can anyone blow that photo up 500% to see which side the steering wheel on that car is on? I'm too busy.

1885 Damlier. Possibly the oldest production motorcycle, and a woody. Bet tht was a rough ride.

Germans drive on the same side of the road as we do. Most of Europe does for that matter, except for a few island nations.

My first thought was how many splinters you would get if you had a wreck!

It turns out my guess of Germany was correct - here is the original photo:

I can't read the title of the newspaper in the advert - but a search on TLZ leads to "Thüringischen Landeszeitung" so that's Thüringen in Germany.
