No way I am putting my goods on top of a boiler. What happens if you crash. Nothing good that's for sure.
I am surprised it didn't cook the fool that made it. Bad ideas can make you crazy. In this case crazy and cooked.
How bout this one...looks to have machinery all over it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1...lica)_The_Art_of_the_Motorcycle_-_Memphis.jpg
Think about it, the whole concept of a motorcycle is dangerous, you are pecariously perched on two tiny bits of rubber, with an area no bigger than 4 square inches touching the road, then you shoot along a fatal speeds, even round corners, add to that other people on the very same road, then all this danger is topped of by the engine, a box full of red hot moving parts, all located just under a tank full of flammable vapours and liquid
Nice looking machine, but couldn't these guys figure out a design that would not explode in your face or under your goods? It is a beauty.
Yea, but I would rather deal with explosive gasoline that is more or less contained. A full head of steam is a bit more dangerous than setting off one explosion at a time in a cylinder. These guys were still using leather for seals.
