Found at Joey deVilla’s The Adventures of Accordion Guy in the 21st Century, photo by Miss Fipi Lele.
Would someone tell me the background story of this rocketastic motorcycle mod, pretty please?

I don’t know where it came from but at first I thought it had a seat on top of the rocket and a rumble seat for the passenger rather than the cutout it actually has.
A rumble seat would have been cool.

brilliant i want one !
looks like the shell was made from a drop tank of some sort, i wonder what kind of bike lurks under there.

The only thing my car guy husband knows about it is that it’s a scooter underneath and it started out as a drop tank, not a bomb.

Hmmm…. reminds me of this: http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2008/03/25/surplus-plane-tank-converted -into-small-racer/

Reminds me of Wiley Cayote and Road Runner cartoons! How much says he’ll drive through a wall?

The story behind it? Someone wanted a bomb-shaped bike, and built one.
Unusual, but the neighbours probably roll their eyes every time it passes.

reminds me of Coop’s photos of their belly tank racer at Bonneville:
