Yes it is. The mounted Ipad was washed out of the photo but they forgot the plane.

Unless there's a sidecar it's mounted on(that I can't see), I don't see this as being very practicable.
And must have been a b#stard to drive it.
Nope don't see it.

There is, just obscured by the bike and soldiers:
There was also an ambulance version:

Sure beats trying to fire it from horseback. What’s next? Mounting them from aeroplanes?

Found same pic with slightly different angle.

Sorry, dunno how to post pix/ With weight of at least quarter inch steel plate in addition of machine gun/ammo/gunner/rider) this motorcycle had the offensive mobility of a washing machine on wheels...

With armor in place...
If you don't have a Harley for your Hotchkiss, use your bicycle...

Not to mention, look at the guy sitting on the rear to keep it from recoiling . . . .

I’m sure that set-up was good for morale. “Here’s some armor for you, gunner . . . yeah, driver . . . about that . . . .”
