Thought you'd all appreciate this. Not sure if it actually runs, but I'm sure the ride would rattle your teeth out.

It LOOKS like it would run - be a wild ride, for sure :shock:

Bill Gelbke out of Boscobel, Wi built a large , heavy motorcycle out of a ChevyII drive train- 151 inch engine the size of a IHC H, powerglide tranny, Chevy c20 rearend turned into something like a BMW rear drive over fed on steroids- this was early/mid 1970s? It was ridden to some rallies and bike shows, I saw it 6-7 years ago at a Northern Illinois swap meet. Last year in Boscobel during a Civil War battle re-enactment a guy had a Ford Flathead V8 with a 4 core Chevy radiator, Chrysler torque convertor with manual lockup and a Honda Goldwing rear drive and wheel- that was about 2/3 size of Gelbke's. Motorcycle equipment laws leave a wide margin for strange looking road machines. RN

Love that threaded pipe frame LOL.

Mine uses a hit & miss stationary engine. A fun parade toy and good way to show one of those old engines working

I saw that rascal at a show in NE Ohio last year, and got a few pics:

Not much different from a Boss Hog.

That bike was called Roaddog. He also built Some bike chevy bikes that were well finished and not as huge as Roaddog. There is a book about Wild Bill I want to find.
