Steam Powered Motorbike

This bike's from 1903-1904.

You'll notice it doesn't run on coal...!

It used paraffin. Like other steam vehicles it had to 'get up steam'. So you light the burner, go back indoors for breakfast, and then you're ready to go..lol

Belt drive and being steam it needed no gears or clutch or starter of any kind and only had a bicycle type stirrup brake on the front wheel.

Also it ran almost without any noise at all.
