Largest Bike in the world
Found in Melbourne Motor Show
It’s a 13 ton/ 28 660 pound two-wheeler devised by Ray Baumann, a man who used to make a living out of trying to stop his own living. He was a stunt driver who has also driven trains, among other lifestyle activities.
Powered by a Detroit Diesel truck engine, mated to a 6-speed Allison automatic, this thing stands almost 9 metres/ 29.5ft long and more than 3 metres/ 9.8ft high. In fact, as seen in these pics, a full grown man doesn’t even stand up to one of the Monster Motorbike’s wheels. Caterpillar provided these wheels straight from their front-end loader, a beast on its own, used to terrorizing the earth in all manner of sorts.
Car used by the President of the United States - Cadillac One
The Presidential State Car is a name that can be given to several limousines used by the President of the United States. Analogous to Air Force One, the limousine is informally known as Cadillac One.
Current model
The current Presidential Limousine is a 2006 hand-crafted, armored version of the stretch Cadillac DTS (DeVille Touring Sedan), first used on January 20, 2005 during the second inauguration parade of George W. Bush. The vehicle was custom built by a team formerly called O'Gara, Hess and Eisenhart, founded in Fairfield, Ohio in 1942, specializing in armoring limousines for presidents and heads of state, and now a subsidiary of BAE Systems.The Secret Service refers to the heavily-armored vehicle as "the beast".
The limousine is airlifted for domestic and international use primarily by U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III. When the President travels on domestic and working international trips, Cadillac One displays the American and Presidential flags. When the President performs a state visit to a foreign country, the Presidential flag is replaced by the foreign country's flag. via
