[Boater]

This remarkable motorbike looks like it's straight out of a film set - but remarkably an artist has made it out of spare parts.

The Bangkok worker used recycled materials from old cars and bicycles to create a monster machine which is sculpted to look like a beast.

Despite being cobbled together from scrap parts, the spectacular motorcycle works - unlike many sci-fi film props.

Artist Roongrojna Sangwongprisarn, 54, created the machine out of spare parts in his workshop in Thailand. He has four shops across the country - named the Ko Art Shop - and exports his creations to clients all over the world.

Slightly off-topic but still on the subject of unique bikes, I just read that Ariel (not the washing powder company) will make a bike next year, pretty pricey though

Pretty cool looking.

That thing must weigh as much as a Harley now.
