19 Feet and 9000 lb Bike

Yep, it really is that big. Some Germans with a sense of humor took a Soviet tank engine and built a bike around it. Just don’t drop it. Autoblog has the story…

The engine comes from a Soviet T-55 tank (though the article incorrectly says the T-55 was a Panzer — go here for a Google translation of the original article), which was a diesel V12 with 620 HP. Note the CCCP and crest at the front of the sidecar, which adorns the front of the hood from a Soviet truck. Even better, check out that anvil hood ornament.
