It reminds me of that extraordinary and superlight Russian AA-12 shotgun

There's a Honda Trail 70 hidden under all that camo and balloon tires...

Using your motorbike as a ladder. Brilliant!

That's cool. I'd be interested in seeing how they did the AWD system.

-Toyman-I don't believe its all wheel drive. Check the disassembly section of the video. Extremely cool, Woody. Now I know what to do for my next "frivolous" project.

In reply to wheelsmithy:

The disassembly and several other shots show a front chain. Also when it was in the water floating at the 1:50 mark, both front and rear wheels were turning. The caption below the video also says it's all wheel drive.

A little more digging shows it was available as a $37 set of plans for the DIY crowd, but the website is "under constructions."
