    Does anyone still have a picture saved of the Harley that was built from 2X4's and 4X4's.

    Does anyone remember the post it was shown? No pun intended.

    Thanks,

        I thought that is what it was called in the original post. Oh Lord, I may have offended a Harley rider.

          There is a poster on another site that uses a picture of that bike as his avatar, and yes he is a Harley rider.

                      hey Steve,
                      I found this on the internet.. so take it for what that's worth... but:

                      This "Holzmotorrad" has been around a while - The (VERY old) 25 HP Honda has been remade as an Alabama Harley in some photos. There's something odd about the streetscape, buildings, cobblestones... and a pair of VWs).

                      In addition to RatBike, it shows up on a great site for arcane bikes: Classic Motorrads Deutschland - http://www.classic-motorrad.de/galer...&cat=0&pos=585

                      Small world... but still no name for the artist.

                          Say, isn't that a Special gas tank?

                            I think the BIKE is "Special"

                              I don't think a Special tank holds that much gas.

                              DiverRay,

                              That thing sure looks like it came out of a "can we build a bike in an afternoon" type of dare, doesn't it?

                              Deb is wondering if this is the motorcycle version of a "Woodie".
