Where's the gas tank on this thing?

The writer on the HP thinks this bike is amazing. And while bikes this crazy aren't my thing, I can appreciate the work that goes into them...

That said, it's not like these are actually made to be ridden, but how much gas can something like this hold? Could you even cruise the beach? Ha ha.

The gas tank I would think is what looks like the oil tank. Hard to tell, the battery is down low and I am guessing he built an oil reservoir within it as well. Similar to what DK Customs is doing with his Sportster Project.

The oil is in the frame of the bike and what looks like the oil tank is actually the gas tank.

The kickstand is on the opposite side too. It looks naked without it.

That looks like one of Jesse Rookes' bikes. Lot of engineering went in to his bikes, I like......

Where's the gas tank? It doesn't need gas, don't nobody rides those things. Probably isn't even wired. Hell, the kick stand isn't even on the correct side.
