Someone calling himself "Gibbs" stole my PWC/motorcycle idea.

And WTF is that big red thing?

See my gallery for my rough concept. I'd first hack out the front and worry about waterproofing (or just foam filling) later. Try and keep stock nozzle, just route a waterpipe around where rear wheel would be.

 

Looks like this guy might have started long ago, and can't stop.

Actually there was a guy with a dirt bike who did this exact thing on a U-tube video, maybe 6 months ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDi9uFcD7XI

Sorry Squiddly, but every time I think I invented something someone else has been working on it for a time.
I console myself that I didn't get it from anyone else - I thunk it on my own.
Seems that ideas just have a "natural" time to be born (enough data/ information has accumulated).

 

Love the big red sculpture. Must be a hoot when the wind gets up and its Develop able too!

 

great find Upchurch, Yipster was talking about something similar in my original PWC/bike thread.

IIRC he wanted to use a 2wd bike like a Trailbreaker with the massive balloon tires.

I think with a few minor mods you could get a bike to get up on top of the water from a submerged position.

First mod might be a nice puffy fairing for some floation, and bit of puff at the rear fender/seat. After that is just an intake snorkle and some other water proofing.

 

best "installation art" I've seen and doesn't pollute an already special view.
