biker on stilts

Tall MotorcycleSo for this motorcycle the rider actually has to wear stilts to recah the foot controls. This motorcycle was featured way back in 1934 in an article by Modern Mechanix. You might have thought that odd motorcyles were just a recent thing but this picture goes to show that even bikers back then always wanted to see how far they could push a motorcycle design.

While this bike not win any speed races with a one-cylinder engine, it certainly would beat most motorcycles out for being the tallest.

I am one of the original founders of www.biker-events.com and I have been motorcycling since 1986 starting from an Yamaha Scooter to my latest ride a 2003 Honda Goldwing. I have owned my Goldwing for 4 years now and I have put on a little over 70,000 miles in that time. I enjoy going to rallies and meeting bikers from every walk of life.
