The Chopper

He couldn't afford one so he made one, out of wood.

Hungarian Istvan Puskas laboured for two-and-a-half years building his machine out of weather-resistant black locust firewood. Puskas describes himself as a die hard fan of choppers but couldn't afford to buy one for himself. And, unlike many other wooden bikes, this one is more than just a showpiece, with Puskas adding a Fiat engine to give it some go. Puskas has also added some other unique features including cow horns for handlebars and exhaust pipes, while a wooden barrel is the fuel tank.

A real tough guy isn't afraid to show his 'kitten' side.
