Could be a Beech Craft engine in the bike
You would have to check the nuts
Those exhaust branches are nice

Quote taken from another web site:
"My name is Mathias and I come from "good ol´ Germany". The Wood Motorcycle on the Picture is made by me. The Build takes about 9 months. Like a child :-) It´s a Honda CB250 RS engine with 22 Horsepowers inside. It´s enough for a topspeed from over 75mph.
For more questions, ask me at holzrocker@gmx.de"
The 'alabama' sign in the background is photoshopped - its actually the end of a bus stop in Germany 
So come on, own up, who thought it was made in USA... 
Here is a link to another wooden motorbike Zimmerei Marko Buschner +++ www.holz-bleibt-holz.de
Those crazee Germanz (not something you hear often !)
(p.s. it was posted to a bike site I visit regularly, which is where all the above info came from).
Right, now back to that Yacht you mentioned Keith | |

Damn! You got me! 
Should have known better...the bike was far too well engineered for the backwoods.
Just as I was beginning to build up a life for this guy and his self built toys.
Oh well, you might as well get a look at his yacht then.....

Keith,
Have you got this guy's phone number ?
My mother-in-law wants to go on an Atlantic cruise.

Hey JW, I'm glad that someone appreciates a fine piece of marine engineering. I think Cletus did a great job with the bike and the boat.
He got married recently and had a right hoe down after the reception - here's his bride enjoying a sip or two....

Wow, that yacht has a top-side pool AND bbq area!
Gotta get this guys number!
The only thing that would top that Keith is if the bride was taking drings whilst hanging from the top deck of that yacht.
