This is my motoheap, it is about 13ft long, the gas tank is made from streetlights, the frame is streetlight brackets, the motor is a milk can with lightning arrestors for the radial cylinders, tractor saddle, manure spreader and hay rake wheels, etc.... Long winter last year.

if you push really hard you can almost make it go, the brakes kick ass.

Pretty cool.
That's quite a sharp rake angle on the front - the thing must really drop into corners.

Very nice! You must be in the power business. Are those 14.4Kv arrestors? I have some junk 69Kv station arrestors that just looked to nice to throw away. I can't decide what to do with them though??

Is this the 20's version of a powered penny farthing? I think the world needs to be told.

Wow, thanks for the compliments, it sure was fun putting it all together. The wheels had been in my yard for years, one night I was viewing them with a cheap tequila buzz and thought,.. farg, that would make a cool something or another kind of bike. So I started digging around the dumpster at work and in junk yards, found some other clunk and got to fiddlin, more tequila for good luck and it took shape. My neighbors were worried it might end up in the front yard, almost did!
black hills, yes, Im with the local electric co...these are 7.9kv distribution arrestors, our primary is 13.8 phase to phase here. Those 69s must be huge, sounds like a nice radial engine sculpture to me!!

They are huge, 3 1/2 ft. tall 18" dia. and they weigh 250+lbs. They look lke they should be good for something, but I don't know what?? By the way, a picture of your sculpture is now hanging in the linemans room.
