Not a Harley, But WTF?

Usually when my wife’s away, I sit around and eat a whole box of cookies. Or eat a big steak with my dogs. I don’t think the thought has ever crossed my mind while she was gone to ask my friend if I could use his spare Lamborghini V12 to build a motorcycle? Nope, never once crossed my mind.

That however, is the story behind this amazing piece of motorcycle engineering.

One summer when Chuck Beck’s wife was out of the country, Chuck decided to get creative and ask his buddy who recently had his Lamborghini catch fire, for the engine out of it so he could build a dream machine.

A fully functional Lamborghini V12 powered motorcycle, because who doesn’t want that!

The engine seems to have come out of a Countach and was given a second life to send shivers down people’s backs.  I’m not sure what to make of it, but all I know is it’s definitely unique and very cool.
