Largest Motor Cycle

The biggest motor cycle ever in the world has been built by Greg Dunham. It is such a massive motor cycle that when people seeing it for the first time use to think that they have reduced in their physical size. Greg’s motor cycle has captured a place in the Guinness book of world records as the biggest motor cycle in the world. Greg took nearly three years to build such a huge motor cycle. It is nearly 15 feet tall and 25 feet long and it weighs around 6500 pounds. What made Greg to build such a massive motor cycle is that his friends were telling him it was impossible to build such a motorcycle. Greg knew that it was a massive project, but still he wanted to prove his friends that he could do it. Finally he reached his goal. He really enjoys the way people react when they look at his motor cycle. It seems nearly 15 guys saw the bike and one among them have asked Greg to build a new one for him. Greg wants to take his motor cycle all over the county so that more and more people can have a look at it. But he is in need of a commercial sponsor to help him in going around the country.
