Fitted with three 63" rims and OTR tyres and chains, this baby will almost certainly guarantee cars, trucks and even Volvo drivers will get out of your way. You will also be able to look down through cars' sunroofs as you go past.
Yes, you'll need a special licence to drive it and maybe an escort vehicle and a powerline safety crew to negotiate some urban landscapes but roads may be optional, if you wish.
Power provided by a reconditioned AGT-1500 gas turbine as fitted to the M1A2 Abrams tank. (1100kW / 1500shp).
Throttle control can be either hand throttle, as on a motorcycle, or pedal power, with a dynamo and relay system set up to the pedals so the faster you pedal the faster you go.-- infidel, May 09 2011 OTR Tyres http://www.eastland-tire.com/catalog.htmlBIG!

You can also add factory-fit streamers on the handlebars, if you wish.
I think that German one may have a 700hp gas turbine, from a 1960s T-55 upgrade, [Twizz]. Not sure.-- infidel, May 10 2011 random, halfbakery
