The Monster Motorbike
Designed and built in Perth, Australia, by road train driver turned stunt-jumper Ray Baumann, this car-crushing, two-wheeled behemoth is almost thirty feet (9 metres) long, ten feet (3 metres) high and weighs as much as a school bus.
Developed over three years, the 13.6 tonne Monster Motorbike is powered by a Detroit Diesel truck engine and six-speed Allison automatic and uses a two-speed Eaton differential from a road train to drive a massive chain on each side of the rear wheel.
The wheels and tyres themselves are from a Caterpillar 80 tonne front end loader and are almost 10 feet (3 metres) high and over 3 feet (1 meter) wide.
“We did stunt driving for quite a few years, broke a few records and broke my back a few times, so this is a way of taking a bit more care,” said Baumann.
“Now we crush things, which is definitely less risky than jumping them - we still do jump things, but not at the Melbourne Motor Show.”
The Monster will appear at the 2008 Melbourne International Motor Show which runs from 5pm on 29 February until 6pm on 10 March.
