This Iron Lung May Cause Shortness of Breath

Iron lungs were originally conceived as way to help the injured or infirm to breathe. Icon Motorsport just shared the following video of their latest Icon 1000 Custom, the Iron Lung. Described as “600 pounds of American coke fired iron, riding on weather-checked English rubber,” the Iron Lung is perfectly happy sliding around on a track, trying to murder you. So not only might this Iron Lung make it harder to breathe as it is rather pretty, it might just do you one worse.

Based on a 1991 Harley-Davidson Sportster road-racer, this thing is upgraded in every way. If you can make it past the absurd voice-over that sounds like it was written by a hack ad copy-writer, you should enjoy watching the cycle on the track. Oh and remember: take deep breaths.
