This Guy Built a Working Motorcycle Out of Wood, As well as a "Helmet"

If I can harken back to the first Iron Man movie, "[This guy] built himself a wood motorcycle. In a shed. OUT OF SCRAPS!" Sorry, my Obadiah Stane impersonation just can't quite capture Jeff Bridges' performance. Yet, I absolutely share his sentiments after watching the video below and seeing some random dude just build himself a working, running motorcycle out of wood and whatever he could find lying around. 

Honestly, I'm not sure where to begin with this story, other than it's pretty self-explanatory. You've got this guy, with almost zero context of why or who or why, who's built himself a fully functional motorcycle out of mostly wood. 

And you can see him take this insanity to fill up its gas tank at a gas station somewhere in Africa. Because wood, gasoline, and an internal combustion engine go soooo well together, right? Luckily for him, it actually does.
