Wonder what it turns in the quarter?

Otherwise it looks a lot like the trike I'm building.    :afro:

The steering wheel is there on the left.  The gunsight is up top on the boiler.  The centerstand is not retractable.

I'm guessing it's inspirational equipment for a deep-fried-butter spin class.  The spinner gets the wheel going, the piston pumps up the boiler and makes steam.  The steam heats the deep-fried-butter fryer and the 'cycle' continues.

Ohh, deep fried butter. Sounds creamy!
County fair!

 So... maybe it is the new Polarindian "Chef"  :huh:

Can't be; no valenced fenders.

There will be as soon as someone brings a bucket of clams to steam*.    :food:


*and some preschoolers with Elmer's glue

That will do then, sign me up. I love the opaque windshield!

Oh, who stole Elmer's glue from him?

Certainly does belittle the average "steam-punk" motorcycle interpretation... literally.

Where is Jay Leno?

Unfortunately, he's in the boiler.  He thought it was an MRI machine and someone wanted steamed crabs  .  . . everybody won.

Good. I was a bit worried about that Vincent of his.

I can offer no reply to that.  :bow:

I think that thread fell about as low as it could go. I am proud to have aided in digging the hole!

 Aw c'mon guys , I was just riffing off both of you . We need a blushing emo . Yeah , we strive for "low"  :grin:

I knew I was at home here. We do need a blushing emo. Or at least one hiding behind a chair or something.

I just noticed that one of my comments didn't post.  If you already thought we were at the bottom, then that's a good thing.

Toot! Toot! Thats an old design! Our steamscooters of today all have modern electrical and sound systems and are much easier to park!  :shocked:

It's an all-in-one motorcycle, competition BBQ smoker, and iron lung.

Awesome!

I thin I had one of those once! Isn't it a Honda reflex?

I found a better view of the steampunk motorcycle "Black Pearl" that shows more of the steering, front suspension and floorboards. It is a lot smaller than I thought it would be.

Hey! It looks like a beer keg replaced the boiler! :boozing:
Title: Re: Strictly for laughs
Post by: HardAspie on June 19, 2015, 11:36:45 PM
It looked like a giant behemoth!

Question now is: would you ride it?
Title: Re: Strictly for laughs

  If it had a sidecar.  Ya gotta have somewhere to carry the coal.

Now if you swapped ends and added a wheel and the banjo you'd visualize what I'm building.

Banjo?

Sorry, I guess that's a guitar.
