11 feet high. 20 feet long. And, a $300,000 pricetag. No one believed he could pull it off, but he built it anyway.

Alone in his workshop at home, Greg Dunham crafted the world's largest motorcycle. Not only does the giant machine

Kind of cool. But honestly, there's part of me that just thinks that's unbelievably dumb. $300,000 to build, and basically, you can't do anything with it.


Just my obviously biased opinion...

Doesn't a motorcycle have two wheels? That parade float he built is more like a car with displaced axles.

I thought the giant motor trike that Jesse James built on Monster Garage was more creative and cost under $10K. He took a used Peterbilt semi truck and removed the Cummins diesel engine and Allison Tranny, and connected it almost directly to the truck drive axle. Somehow he rigged up a single front wheel steering mechanism and got a seat installed above the tranny and turned the whole thing into a giant diesel engine on three wheels going down the road. Closest thing to monster cycle I've ever seen.
