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.

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.

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.
