AWESOME BIZZARE STUFF - PREF MOTOR RELATED (or other, so long as interesting)

[Rocker]

Also, the vans you posted are also one off coach builds. If you notice, the first one is actually a Dodge Challenger concept built by Dodge in the 70s. The second is an all fibreglass body on (probobly) a Chevy 1/2 ton pickup or van chassis.

Speaking of rad Dodge concepts, heres the 1964 Hemi Charger... I would do horrible things to wonderful people for one of these.

Cheers for the info on the potatoe vans Von! And that car is really something else indeed Me likey! hahaha.. your comment about the "doing horrible things...etc" gave me a chuckle ;D

That little salt sled of yours looks like a real treat mate How fast has it gone so far? Any plans.. next salt project?

As for that LC750.. thatt's pornography in my books ;D

Sorry to hear you weren't well. Hope you back up and running. I'm not a stroker fan but I could definitely live with that LC. So far the sidecar best speed has been 125.715 at Bonneville. The target is 130.

That Charger reminded me of the '63 Chrysler Corps turbine concept cars.

Turbine Powered Batmobile- met the builder (he had a Triton I looked at and should have bought- doh!) and saw the car- pretty cool, if you like batmobiles

Rover P6 was designed for a gas turbine, never happened though
I had a 1965 2 l, cruised real nice around 90mph

Talking about our friend Batman, found this on the internet...
Batman/starwars/xmen-motorcycle suits ;D Weird and geeky, who would wear one?

[Hoosier Daddy]

HA HA HA... Imagine getting petrol at the local station dressed as an Imperial Storm Trooper... on a white V-Strom

 

[haplo_84]

I really want one of those suits now!

 

[Bons]

Too bad they don't make the helmets as well...

 

[crazypj]

I might as well throw in my weird builds.
#1 Kawasaki 1500 V twin converted to chain drive.

How difficult was conversion?
Did you make cover/bearing retainer or is there a kit?
Do you have any close up pics?

I have worked on those.
It is a DC3.
It has one "master rod" and all the other connecting rods are attached to the master rod.

The crank is easy to understand but the 'cam ring'? to operate valves fascinates me (not sure if that motor uses face cam ring but some radials do)

Those Star War suits are way too tight in the crotch area. You'd never be able to fit the size of the balls needed to wear one of those suits in public.

Cheers mate I have my days.. but I try to keep my mind active LOL.. yeah... easy to live with the LC.. Even just sitting it in the lounge room as eye candy ;D Mmmmm... 130 mph.. Mate, I hope you get there sooner than later Although you seem like a clever lad, so I have no doubt you will meet that goal soon

Tough call.. either between Batman or Tron.. but being a HUGE batman fan.. most probably Batman The biggest problem would be deciding whether to wear it on the bike, or go out and beat up bad guys in it ;D

 

[Rocker]

I've never seen the skeleton bike before.. that's mad!
Second one is a Jesse James radial airplane motor.. which is just pure pornography... the motor swings out away from the chassis when the forks are full lock,
3rd is an Arlen Ness Buik special I think...? Well, It's an Arlen Ness anyway..
and the third is just lunacy hahaha ;D Imagine that on a long days ride? Blood would run from your hands in 10 minutes hahaha

First of all, I just want to say thanks to all you guys for contributing amazing pics to this thread! Thank you!
I've been very absent with my own submissions due to personal things, but it's time to post some pics I guess....

Here's a mental car I found online a few weeks back.. I have no idea what it is.. but it appears to have 2 monster v8's in it.. with blowers! Me wants a ride in that thing!!! 8) Falls under Bizarre & Awesome categories

And now, just some plain old AWESOME motorcycles from the good old days.. and there's nothing really special about them except for their sheer beauty and exquisite craftsmanship.. behold.. the Egli Vincent

A 1974 Ducati 750 Concorso

And one of my personal favorite custom builds by the talented crew at Hidemo:

Mmmmm... *drools* ;D

 

[crazypj]

Egli Vincent is probably one of the most 'purposeful' motorcycles ever built
Engine, pair of wheels and just enough parts to hold things in place 8)

Saturday Super Modified Tractors from Saluda, SC: 2011

Redneck or not, the sound of a gas turbine engine running at full tilt makes my eyes water in a good way.
