Andi Feldmann rides on a motorbike Tuesday he invented together with his brother, German cartoonist Roetger (Broesel) Feldmann, in the northern town of Wietze-Jeversen. The self-constructed bike is powered by 24 chain saw motors.

Ok...I can't decide if that's ingenious, impressive or ridiculous. Maybe it's all three at once.

Here's a link to their (translated) web site. It's mostly a publicity stunt to promote their chainsaws but it does run. Of course it's getting 170 hp the hard way and at 4 meters long, not practical but I'd love to see it run in person. :)
