For some reason, I could not get the link to show up visible in my post and so had to put it in quotes.
Sorry folks, but you'll have to cut and paste into another browser window. Video is about a guy's motorized bike made from a long timber with wheels on each end. Doesn't seem to safe to me.

Looks like a carbon-based, wide-tired, aero, "all road" bike to me.
Ticks all the boxes: not a Shimano component in sight, and very unlikely to have been purchased from a Mom & Pop LBS. Appears to be a custom frame, likely not one of those cookie-cutter bikes made in "Asia".
Should please many people here in General Cycling if recent threads are any indication.

Pic assist. Internal combustion powered. Does not belong here, but at one point he's riding it like a recumbent.
Rollie Free did it better and set a record.

Prone motorcycle. With no saddles or handlebars, what would keep the passengers from slipping around to the underside of the telephone pole?
