Someone posted this thing on here before - Sure this guys isnt yanking your chain? COnsidering Ive seen that pic before, sounds like BS.
 
yeah, i've seen it before too, i think it was italian, and the designer died in a crash or something.

30 seconds of googling revealed this... good story, no wonder i remembered it.

MV Monomoto Unique Motorcycle Art
Here a fun story from the owner of this very special monocycle. The machine is not rideable.
"This MV Augusta 60cc Monomoto Superleggera is the experimental machine ridden by young wealthy Italian Luiggi Bandini, during practice for the 1954 Milano-Taranto Road Race. Bandini tragically lost control in a misty mountain section, while waving to a pretty spectator. His grief stricken father, Count Enzio Bandini, “The Falcon,” never again permitted anyone to ride or even view this advanced design, and knowledge of its whereabouts faded. Eventually, rumors of this fascinating machine reached the motorcycling bon vivant Todd Fell. On a trip to Naples, Italy, his quest to find it was rewarded at the Bandini country villa, where in 2004, fifty years after the tragic accident, the late Count’s family was persuaded to part with the treasure."

I think this guys having a laugh with this ad. Ive seen pics of that exact "bike" for years and most of them are about how its not a real bike... Just an art piece. I could be wrong though.
 
Yep, an art piece. You'd need some kinda gyro to stay upright like this one:

i didnt think it was ride able i thought it was maybe a collector item or something. I dont know why some one would waist there time posting that. oh well, it looks cool
 
The orange one has thw wheels side by side very closely, and the bottom one where you sit inside the wheel is apparently an absolute hoot to ride. Learning curve isn't to bad either, apparently, about 15 minutes to get the hang of it?

Well, get any of them up to some speed and then abruptly BRAKE! Work those physics out and it equals pain for the rider and funny for the bystanders! :D
 
Why you shouldn't do dumb shit just to be diffrent.
