Is that the rare 1952 Speedmaster tractorcycle with the optional hand and foot controls and mouse in the exhaust pipe. That chrome emblem on the front says speed..something.

It's called a "I couldn't afford a real motorcycle". And is considered solid evidence why some people should not be allowed to have tools.

25% pivot irrigation
25% small tractor
50% spare pipe rack.
Those tires cannot be rated for highway use. I'd bet the feel more square than round.

Definitely steampunk style. I kind of like some steampunk things but that is just going too far!

I want one. That would be a mean bike to have. Put a good suspension under it to make it a trail bike/street bike. Id own one in a heart beat

The more I looked at this thing today the more I think it's just about aesthetically perfect.
As mentioned by others - the mud on the tires, headlight, rusty toolbox, grasshopper in the grill, oogah horn, snapper head, fire extguisher on the forks, dump rake seat, even the wire cook stove handle hanging from the cable.
And the perfect patina on everything.
Obviously the iron pipe would only last about 15 minutes on the road before it worked hardened and fractured so it couldn't be roadworthy.
It's tempting to build something like that.
Start with a respectable drive train. BSA? Trumpet? Some kind of springer front.
Add some military tires. Some gew gaws, etc.
Leave it all rusty and crude - but driveable.
Did you notice the pretty bikes in the back ground?
Like they didn't want to park too close to the nasty thing.

Ultradog, I had it figured the other way around. I figured he parked it away from the others so it would stand out from the crowd!
