Photo of The Day

Yes I agree    To much crackle.....just don't look right

[granitechops]

Did somebody spray it with brake fluid ??

[Marc988]

Very neat photo and subject...although I dont think I would want to be operating the canon, as the guys with the gatling gun seem to have missed that all important part of weapons training that talks about where not to point your weapon.

And what about the recoil and the flying shell casings ?!    and than with 5 ! People in such a cramped space ?!
I would say gun train vs enemy ; at least 0 - 1 !

Not sure if this is considered steam punk, but there's a building and weathering challenge here for someone...Industria Mechanika maybe???
Looks like the perfect ride for the "Barrio Guy" 

Cheers,

Dan,   That bike is cool

[Marc988]

This is so cool !!  .

I'd wonder if it really runs ?!

[NE Brownstone]

Wow, it even has a fire extinguisher mounted on the front forks.  Reminds me of a 2-wheel drive mud bike I saw a bazillion years ago at the Cattle festival in Abbeville, LA.

[NORCALLOGGER]

It might run but I would really question the structural integrity of that screwed pipe/fittings frame.
Especially in off road use.

[danpickard]

Gonna go with the idea that personal safety ain't the first consideration before jumping aboard and firing up this monster!!!   

Cheers,
Dan

That is awesome! Even more so if it actually works.

[JohnTolcher]

"Narly!" as they would say round these parts.

Cuts down on compacting the soil when pulling the discs. Low impact farming.

In answer to the question, "Does it really run?" -- yes! Here's video proof:

A friend sent me this link of twentieth century American photographs that I thought might be of assistance to someone modeling this period. The photographs  are predominantly east coast and industrial but there are some rural southern pictures as well. The time span is 1865 to 1922.
