Flight of the Phoenix (the original with Jimmy Stewart) is one of my favorite movies. The Stunt Pilot, Paul Mantz, died making that movie.

I’d say he had a working knowledge of the Mad Max series too!

I seriously doubt the “story” associated with this project. After looking at the bike, it was likely built in a shop.

Finally! A good use for a 2CV!

He couldn’t repair a broken frame rail so he built a complete new machine, yeah, right! Very nice “mad max” type art work project, though. Does not appear to be a drivable vehicle.

Anyone can build a motorcycle from a Citreon.

Lets see him do that with a '69 Chevy Impala.

Truth or fiction? He must have had more than the usual amount of tools in his crappy 2CV.

looks cool, if it works. i really doubt the story tho. he can’t fix a slide rail,. but he can do all this without cutting torches, welders, etc...?

If he’s so all-fired clever, what was he doing driving a Citroen in the first place?

I read it on the Interwebs. So, it must be true.

I never go anywhere without my portable Oxy/Acetylene welding & cutting rig. Unless I’m flying, in which case I take a hacksaw and several tubes of J-B Weld epoxy glue. Or at least a case of Duct Tape.
