Back in the Seventies (or so), Easyriders magazine printed a poster of a big motorcycle. The bike was built like an early 20th Century motorcycle with tiller steering, but the engine was big enough that it might have been out of a semi and the wheels might have been taken off a farm tractor. The thing had at least an eight foot wheelbase, probably ten or more.
IIRC, the poster was printed in a sepia tone. There was a rock building in the picture, and it looked to me like the picture was taken in the mountains of Northern California. The rider looked like a typical biker of the time, wearing colors and a skipper’s cap, or something like that.
Can anyone point me to a copy of this picture? I’d like to have a copy of this poster or at least show a picture to some friends, but I can’t find as much as a picture of this thing on the internet. Bonus points to anyone who knows more about the bike, which engine was used, and/or where it was from. If anyone here can help, I’d appreciate it.

All I could find was this [http://motorcyclecity.com/Odd/](http://motorcyclecity.com/Odd/) . The one I was looking for was about 20 feet long and buillt by a guy from the northern part of the us. I cant find it anywhere on the net. It was in one of the motorcycle mags last year and I have been through all of them that I can find and still no luck.

Thanks **BC** , late as this is. The 20 foot long bike may be the one I’m thinking of. The wheels in your picture are the right size, but the engine was a lot bigger.
