I have a dream...

...and it is to build one of these amazing contraptions!

If I can make this street legal, would/could it be covered by insurance? Would I even need it to ride it?
This would be an amazing project! Imagine how eco-friendly this would be!

Hahah! Exactly what I was thinkin bud! I`m so into the SteamPunk scene.It`d be awesome to have a bike like that. I might retro fit my current bike with some nicknacks to make it look more industrial.

Pretty cool -- the sound is pretty funny

You would have to go to a specialty insurer to get that thing on the road -- no standard insurer would touch it.

While neat, what would make this environmentaly friendly? It still burns fuel to make steam.

Good point...I guess perhaps if it was electrically heated?

Electricity is made out of nuclear power and coal burning for most countries around the world....
