Only borderline off-topic, but close enough in my opinion.

Was such a contraption mass build or just the product of a person's imagination?

Thanks for posting. Enjoy it.

Amazing. That was fun to watch.    A bear to fire when you are riding.  Surprised it doesn't have a side car as a tender. 

The Musee Mecanique in San Francisco has a steam-powered motorcycle (complete with brass whistle), but not as "rustic" as this one.

i wonder IF there is a minature "crownsheet" to worry about as you are screaming down the straza?

Might take a look at items used, nothing very safe at the best dangerous at the worst. Welding looks like back yard one valve looks like a normal out door water valve another just a ball valve.  Best thing about this its not close around the US as its a bomb waiting for the right time.

GAWASH !  You might get roasted nuts from that thing.

Dont worry, he's not union and it doubles as a vodka still when not used as transportation.

Price Less!  great video. Thanks for posting it. Chris

One question...WHY?

This is just too far "out there" to be sensible.

That place is a gold mine for those of us that like player pianos, band organs and old arcade games. Well worth a visit if you get down to Fisherman's Wharf.

I have actually heard of something like this before. But IIRC, the bike was made over a hundred years ago. And as many of us know, there were steam powered automobiles very early, but only wealthy people could afford them.
