Looks to me like it has a drum brake up front, and it looks like the trans is integral with the crankcase.

I'd take it for a short spin.

He definitely gets big points for stance, looks like you'd be plenty stretched out on that bike.

 

It looks like it could run.... how far is the question.

 

So whats the ignition point of wood? Cool none the less.

 

Must watch out for splinters...

The background suggests it is Turkish...

 

Just looking at the half-timber frame buildings and the cobblestone / brick work on the driveway I would say it is Germany or Austria ... looks just like my back yard (no, that ain't my bike ). But most of the EU countries have a blue square on the left side of the plate with the first letter(s) of their country inside. Germany has a D for Deutchland, F for France, NL for Netherlands .... etc. I don't know where that plate is from.

Either way ... that bike would still fly if it was on a conveyor belt .

Yes, seems like it is from Germany, at least the commercial in the back is written in german. Some other "fine" german engineering can be found at http://www.werner-broesel.de/werner.html , then go to "Kultschmiede" on the bottom right. Bikes you can find there are "Satte-Liter-Schüssel", "Red-Porsche-Killer" with 4 600cc engines, and a custom Horex. Please check the car either, a 1975 Oldsmobile Regency Ninety-Eight, head chopped 6 inches, a V8 beer cooler in the front and a lengthened rear (ca 2 feet) to accomodate a wooden extension so you can sit on it. I think none of these got Tüv

 

The steam bike was pretty cool there, too. I'll have to spend some time on that site with babel fish up in another window.
