Hhhmmmm. This leads to some interesting "flights of fantasy". Maybe a steam-powered railbike, done up in high-steampunk style...................

Leno has a home built steam powered motorcycle, chopper esque. Doesn't look like it was ever finished but will a truely awesome machine once it is. It consists of an oil fired boiler and a two cylinder engine mounted at an angle beneath the seat. Sadly, I don't believe any pictures exist on the web. Jason
