Steampunk motorcycles

Nice little gallery of steampunky motorcycles built by artisans around the world.
The single engine cylinder is from a tractor and it displaces 1440cc, think about what that sounds like! Tires and wheels are from a Ford Model A. The wooden fork is made of ash with forged iron strapping plus there’s a shovel for a seat. Practical? Are you kidding? Cool? Of course.
