    Real Men ride Motorcycles like this

    I came across the photo on line and thought that some of you may find it interesting. I think it's an International Harvester!

          That looks like the "after".

            From this page..http://andyrupert.com/2011/05/03/hom...an-motorcycle/

            ◾The engine is an International Harvester LB from a cement mixer.
            ◾The transmission is from a Crosley automobile.
            ◾The frame and forks are made out of pipe fittings.
            ◾The wheels are from a David Bradley.

            Sometimes the old man passed out and left the am radio on so I got to hear the oldie songs and current event kind of things

              Looks like the prehistoric predecessor of the Rokon all terrain bikes that sold in the '70s and early '80s.

                Thanks for posting the source. I did a quick look for more info but had found nothing.

                My brother had a Crosley, the front wheels kept falling off of it. I had to look up the David Bradley and found it to be a walk behind tractor. It sure is an interesting conglomeration of parts. Wonder what the top speed is.
