There’s just something very wonderful about steam powered motorcycles. We saw several a couple of weeks ago, and then even more came to our attention – and today we have one that Mr Addison (a regular contributer, and an appreciated one) found – the 1970’s Arthur Hubbard motorcycle conversion.

What’s the obsession, do you think? Is it the idea of riding along on one of these trying to get to the rocketship in time for blast off to the moon? Or hurrying to catch the dastardly villian steaming away on his steamtrain? Either way – the motorcycle above is a beautiful example of the genre. Created from a theoretical article written in 1918, made from an old 1956 East German motorcycle and hand converted between 1969 to 1973. What a journey.
