[timebandit]

Not sure if the right place to put this but, as anybody ever seen one of these or know anything about them?

This would be nice to rebuilt and use for traveling!

After we discuss this, I'll move it over to the off motorcycle topic forum, but lets still give it a look here.

I'm thinking the grill is from Home Depot :)

[audiogooroo]

Interesting. Almost looks home-made.

[coacha]

I'm thinking it may be home built too.

[pirate]

My first impression was that it's probably homemade as well.

[oldbikers]

May no be homemade take a lot of skill to make something like this. Back in the day just about every company made some type of motor home but unless you have a lot of time and a lot of money I would stay in a motel or get a tent trailer to pull behind your bike.I have some knowledge of rebuilding and building motors but please don't ask how. http://s2.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif

That could be fun to tinker around with. Looks like a tank and looks like it has about the same amount visability. I wonder what the view from the driver's seat really is. It doesn't look like you can see too much from there. I bet you'd get a ton of comments at a vintage motorhome rally.

Now, the real question.....Is there a place to tow or carry your bike?

The back end on that thing looks like it belongs on the Nautilus! Anybody seen Captain Nemo around? http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Couldn't find anything yet when searching. That is rather odd looking. Not much visibility from the driver's seat.

Had to laugh at Dan's observation about the grill -- that's exactly what it looks like -- Ha!

Two thoughts.

1) I am sure that shape was perfected in a wind tunnel. Aerodynamics look perfect for best MPG. http://s2.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif

2) You could probably find out some info by contacting the RV Hall of Fame in South Bend Indiana.

the lower 2/3s of the front end could pass for a cab over International :-/

My thoughts exactly. Looks like a conversion by a sheetmetal expert. Maybe an old city bus. rear engine diesel?

LOL!

...and the back end of an old garbage truck, maybe.

I think this is The KawaNow Special Projects Dept. Hospitality Bus for The Custer Rally! DJ
