Yes, you heard it right. This French man named Emile Leray built a working motorcycle from a broken down car to escape the African desert. Though this incident took place 20 years ago and it was featured in brief on French television in the 1990s but the news was brought back into light after appearing in a motoring website.

So, a younger Tony Stark was wandering them African deserts 23 years ago!
Also, this may be the only stick shift motorcycle on the planet.Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

Re: Emile Leray built a working motorbike from a broken down car to escape the African desert
Looks fake, how can he weld the parts?? Also drill, open nuts and bolts that are factory sealed( needs gas charged torque wrench etc), and putting a tyre under the what?? A car has torque converter, gearbox can't rotate wheels, and the engine will blow out if connected directly with a tyre, and the biggest lie of all, he moved an engine that's no less than 200 kg in a chassis that he shortened?? Bulls**t.4 wheels move your body, 2 wheels move your soul .Comment
