I am Will, one of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain –http://www.ukuleleorchestra.com . In this clip I look like a cross between Hannibal Lector and Adolf Hitler, so that’s nice. This is the James Bond Theme as originally envisaged by John Barry, perhaps. The tiny ukulele is made by Hans Thuring – http://www.ebt-edv.de/shop1/ If this tickles your fancy, you may like to hear more of my music at http://www.willgrovewhite.com/
The Regio Design XXL Chopper is officially the world’s largest function motorcycle! It was first introduced to the world in Motorbike Expo 2012 where it stunned the audience worldwide. Designed by Fabio Reggiani, this big bad guy is 32 feet long and 16 feet high, effectively defeating all “biggest and baddest” motorcycle claims.
Powered by a 5.7 V8 Chevrolet 280 Horsepower Engine, the Regio Design XXL Chopper successfully completed its test ride of 100 m. It is indeed a perfect combination of balanced design and high speeds. The Chopper has beaten the previous largest bike record held by the Californian Gregory Dunham. Here is a comparison of both cycles.
For all bike lovers, The Regio Design XXL Chopper is the ultimate bike fantasy. It is something straight out of si-fi movies. Unluckily, this huge machine cannot be two-wheeled and so they provided support wheels.
The Italian Fabio Reggiani had four guys who took seven months to complete this giant. Before displaying the chopper, Reggiani claimed his bike would literally dwarf the 6 meters long and 3.5 feet tall motorcycle by Dunham. And he spoke nothing but the truth! The Regio Design Chopper is huge and the good thing is its functional! If you are wondering, the tires have diameter slightly less than 2 meters; something like the wheels used on tractors.
While the bike is not being produced on large scale at the moment, Reggiani will definitely explore the possibilities. Imagine owning this massive, gigantic machine and driving it down your street to work every morning!
The stabilizer wheels added to the grand Regio Design XXL Chopper provide extra support to assist the motorcycle manoeuvers. However, Reggiani claims that the bike can definitely function without the stabilizers but he just does not want to risk toppling the machine over.
The orange colored Chopper has been attracting lots of attention among bike lovers and fancy ride fanatics. We congratulate Fabio Reggiani on winning the Guinness World Record for the Largest Functional Bike ever made but we are curious who will be the ultimate owner. It would definitely be adrenaline pumping to have this road roller driving down the road.
Have a look at some of these amazing photos from the Verona Motorbike Expo 2012 and be awed by the amazing Regio Design XXL Chopper that gracefully holds the number 1 position in the list of largest functional bikes ever made.

Two boy scouts went on a nature hike in the hills picking hickory nuts.
Along the way, they filled their small pails and then started to fill their pockets and shirts. When they could hold no more nuts, they started down the country road until they came across a cemetery. The boys decided that would be a good place to stop and rest and divide out the nuts. The two boys sat in the shade of a large oak tree and unloaded their pockets and buckets by dumping all of the nuts in a large pile. In the process, two of them rolled away and rested near the road. The boys then proceeded to divide out the nuts. “One for you. One for me. One for you. One for me.” As they were doing this, another boy was passing by and happened to hear them. He looked into the cemetery, but could not see the boys, because they were obscured by the tree. He hesitated a moment and then ran back to town. “Father! Father!” he yelled as he entered his house. “The cemetery. Come quick!” “What’s the matter?” his father asked. “No time to explain,” the boy frantically panted. “Follow me!” The boy and his father ran up the country road and stopped when they reached the cemetery. They stopped at the side of the road and all fell silent for a few moments. Then the father asked his son what was wrong. “Do you hear that?” he whispered. Both people listened intently and heard the Scouts. “One for me. One for you. One for me. One for you…” The boy then blurted out, “The devil and the Lord are dividing the souls!” The father was skeptical but silent — until a few moments later as the Scouts completed dividing out the nuts and one Scout said to the other, “Now, as soon as we get those two nuts down by the road, we’ll have them all.” |
