Check out this gorgeous vintage art deco bike. Amazing. "the bike was originally built by O. Ray Courtney in 1936 and is based on a 1930 K.J Henderson. The bike is powered by inline four cylinder (not a scooter as some have said, check the shot of the motor below) and as I’m sure you can gather by now, is a one-off custom. What I can confirm is it does run and while it looked a bit unwieldy, Frank could be seen riding the bike around the Fairgrounds all weekend. But let’s be honest here (and maybe I’m wrong) - you don’t have this bike in your stable to go out for a long Sunday afternoon ride to get some ice cream.

 Too true! It would be cool, if this wasn't a one-off, to do a "Police" model - would be awesome at bike shows! |

Assuming that thing is all steel, the level of craftsmanship required is to be worshipped. I would love to see it in person. And maybe drag my junk all over it.  |

Really? I didn't think it looked like misshapen crap at all.  |

It is a beautiful bike, but it looses it's looks when there is a rider on it. The rider just makes the bike look like an awkward scooter.

Wow... that was the most incredible looking bike I've ever seen. Until someone got on it. Now it's just stupid.

Yeah, it looks absolutely amazing... ...as long as nobody is on it. Still, I'd find a place for it in the garage. |
