@rondickinson1907 takes diesel. Not guzzoline. Though your comment makes me wish they built that thing out of an old deuce and a half and its multifuel engine.
You could call it dumb if you couldn't ride it or get your other half to ride it with you............but not only is the owner riding it........but his other half is on the back seat..............so I'd say he's winning
@christophermay4998 oh no that thing is absolutely stupid.... and I freakin love it. Just because something is ridiculous doesn't make it bad. This is one of those instances where that is a compliment lmfao.
@@timbo8870 Probably an Allison 4000 at first. I want to build two trikes, the first being a single front Detroit powered pile of insanity where you basically sit on the transmission, and the second a wide front, likely a Crown Vic front end, a Ford V10, and very wide single rear. Basically like a Slingshot, but way more powerful.
@@chrisdroste3296 yeah, Jessi's diesel bike was shorter, used the front steering from the semi, and you sat in the side with the engine screaming in your ear. I remember that build.🤣
That is the most American motorcycle there is! This diesel bike is equal to the original Harley Davidson's they first started putting out from their garage back at the turn of the last century!
My dad is still a local celebrity from being on your show years ago at the great valley regatta. They played his interview on repeat at the fire hall. Lmao
That's the coolest Ratbike I ever seen. Nice. 420 years ago: Some guy saying to his friend, someday we will have machines that can teleport us eighty miles in a matter of just an hour. Bullllshhi!t! His friend replied
Impressive. The amount of over engineering and fabrication into this is amazing. The suspension in the forks and rears to withstand 6k lbs, wow. Deciding what size frame to hold the weight of motor/tranny, everything really. Very.nice
That man right there is Rodney Rucker from Barstow CA. Back in the mid 1970’s he built the First Actual Ford Big Foot pickup truck, (before Bob Chandler built his) called it Ol’ Blue. He would pull his backhoe loaded on his equipment trailer with that truck. Later he mounted the Ol’ Blue pickup onto a 1940’s Ford military tank that was powered by a huge 1100 cubic inch overhead cam tank engine, built by Ford back in the day for WWII. He also had, or still has, a super sick Ford mud bogger truck with a 427 Ford SOHC Cammer engine that was unbeatable back in its hay-day!
THE SHEER INTELLIGENCE AND CRAFTSMANSHIP NOT TO MENTION IMAGINATION AND FABRICATION THAT WENT INTO THIS BUILD!!! I AM 50 YEARS OLD AND DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO RIDE A MOTORCYCLE AND I'M IMPRESSED🎉
Yep my brother bent a Cadillac with a '95 6 cylinder Gold Wing. Hit it at 55MPH on the center of the B pillar. 6 inches forward would have killed the driver. Empty those Hondas weighed 945 lbs. My brother lived. He spent 6 days in the hospital. She spent one day. Both car and motorcycle ended up the junk yard afterwards. That one would probably make the B pillars touch.
