Riding the first internal combustion vehicle

I'm sure quite a few of you will appreciate this piece of machinery. In 1885 Daimler and Maybach created an engine called the "Grandfather Clock" engine and built a two wheeled frame around it. This became the first Otto engined vehicle. Daimler's fourteen year old son was the first person to ride on this motorized bicycle which is the first internal combustion engined motor vehicle. The 1885 Daimler/Maybach Petroleum Reitwagen (Riding Car) was the first motorcycle (and the first motor vehicle) using an internal combustion engine.

Now here's a video of Mercedes-Benz people riding it

Screw spark plugs in going to ignite my fuel with an open flame like this!

Damn, I wanted to see the big guy hop on. Was that Chris Christie?

And you guys think old Honda frames flex.

The sheer and utter brilliance that machine represents is inspiring to say the least.
