The World's Longest Motorcycle: Brit Makes 72-Foot-Long Motorcycle

longest_motorcycleWhat has two wheels, 25 seats, and was built by a plumber? Nope, it's not a multi-user mobile crapper. It's the world's longest motorcycle.

Colin Furze, a British plumber by day - mad scientist engineer by night, started with a 125 cc scooter, then stretched it out with a homemade aluminum frame until it was 72 feet long.

The bike isn't the Guinness World Record holder yet, but Guinness officials are currently taking Furze' motorcycle under consideration.

According to the Daily Mail, Furze had to ride the motorcycle for 100 meters in order to be considered for the record. Furze was able to keep the strange looking bike upright for more than a mile.

"When I first got on it I thought it would never work and at a slow speed it's almost impossible to keep upright. It wobbled a huge amount as I drove along and apparently the back of the bike was weaving around all over the place," Furze said. "This motorbike was so heavy and difficult to drive I think it would be impossible to make a longer bike. I think this record will stand for a very long time."

Furze built the 72 foot motorcycle in an attempt to beat his own Guinness World Record. Furze currently holds the record for world's longest motorcycle with a bike that was 14 meters (46 feet) long.
