My father was a "steam nut" and also had a few hit & miss engines. Never seen one on a motorcycle before.

This is the first International Harvester scoot I've ever seen.

I have a thing for old steam tractors!

My father built a MM return flue and an upright steam engines. We used to go to steam shows all over, really liked one that was in Manitoba. Huge show, running a sawmill that the guy rode on the carriage, steam engines with wheels 6ft high and 3ft wide pulling 24 bottom plows with a guys riding manning each share. Really massive stuff. Waaay cool!

I have a small steam roller that once in a blue moon fire up and drive around the kitchen.

That "Binder" needs a cup holder or two as well.

I mean, it is definitely cool, but also seems like a good way to lose some appendages.

It doesn't seem to be too well balanced either. I think that scooter would be a handful to ride.
