I didn't know where else to throw this, so it's going here.
This is really cool. A man get's stranded in the desert and builds a motorcycle out of his defunct car.

I don't believe it.... I'm calling bull shit....
Without more info, I call BS on the stranded in desert story. But it's a cool build anyway.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."
--Thomas Jefferson
Would have taken some serious know how and some serious tools. Not sure how he could have made it with no welder and no drill.
i call bs as well. who's gonna put a kick stand on something that just needs to get you to the nearest populated place?

Agreed, call total bullshit until I see a picture of the site, car, and all tools used that he happened to be carrying with him.

I call true! I once had to do the same thing when I got stranded at the park.
I've got more flavor than a packet of macaroni.
I say, I say....
I say, yall are underestimating the the creative power of the human mind. He might very well have made it without a single new weld or much cutting/drilling. Depending on what was available and how much was there, im sure a capable person could come up with something that worked.
Yep sure, if Tony Stark could do all he did in a cave, then I'm sure this story is possibly true...Originally Posted by Ezzzzy1
It's freakin' amazing how far a mallet can get you these days!...

I believe he built it, I just doubt the back story.
From the article:
It seems unthinkable to assemble this machine in the desert without using drill and welding equipment. All parts will be assembled by screwing. When drilling, it will be in Africa: the piece of metal is bent 90 ° to form an edge. a certain point, this edge is weakened to the hacksaw or round file. At the edge of drilling, must be returned to the flat part and filed to puncture point by means of a hammer and a punch. The assemblies were made as much as possible according to the original holes of the chassis or engine block-box.
