What Happens When You Turn a Handtruck and a Free Engine Into a Motorcycle?

If you're the do-it-yourself type, then you already know how discarded parts can stack up. Maybe you don't mean for them to, but they always do. That's extra true if you're also the type of ADHD person to have multiple projects going at once, pretty much all the time.

Sometimes that can work out in your favor, though; especially if you tend to work on the same types of projects. Why? Because sometimes, those spare parts from your previous projects can come in handy on your new one. Or sometimes, if you get enough of those spare parts piled somewhere together, you can start to see an entirely new purpose for all of them that you might not have seen if they weren't all right there.

Take this creation, which started life as a simple, unassuming, bright blue hand truck. Lots of steel tubing, some wheels, maybe a little bit of rubber at the handles. Simple, straightforward, ready to pull around whatever someone wished to load onto it, with absolutely zero pretensions of becoming anything else. Except, the Garage Avenger looked at it and saw something else. Kind of like when he looked at a shopping cart and saw a drift kart instead.
