24 Funniest Motorcycle Pictures Discovered Across The Internet
Search the Internet for the funniest pictures of a motorcycle, and one ends up unearthing many a gem. There are some people who’ve simply gone crazy with modifications and turned their two-wheelers into dream rides that others can only gawk at in wonder. There are, of course, the usual spills and falls, with riderless two-wheelers managing to gain quite the distance while the hapless, dethroned rider can only watch in horror. There are the streakers and the strangely dressed folks, atop homemade motorcycles that should never have seen the light of the day! That brings us to this list, which is the funniest motorcycle pictures the internet coughed up, along with our takes on them.
24 HAPPY FATHER’S DAY POPS
The cute little boy standing next to his papa’s prized possession is proud of his work. He may have celebrated father’s day in the best possible way, though we’re not sure of his work’s reception. He seems to have spray-painted his papa’s entire motorcycle in rainbow colors. Pink for the tires and yellow for the body frame may have seemed bright and full of life to the kid, but will it really be a Happy Father’s Day for the poor Papa?
23 HIS GOOSE ISN’T COOKED, YET
Who says transporting livestock needs four sturdy wheels? This guy seems to be doing fine with one little motorcycle. To be honest, this man knows how to make the maximum utilization of resources. He’s transporting geese in his Honda Super Cub. According to The Telegraph, the Honda Cub is the world’s best-selling motorcycle. This underbone motorcycle is a perfect means of transport for small-time vendors around the world. The physique of the motorcycle is such that a framed metal or wooden structure on the rear seat allows the owners to hang or carry a huge amount of load, as is apparent here.
22 TAKE A LOAD OF THIS THUMP
It looks like this motorcycle has two missiles as its exhaust. It actually looks more like a war machine than a motorcycle. Plus, imagine the kind of thump this set of exhausts will create when the rider goes high speeds. Of course, before you run out to get yourself a matching pair of these, remember that this mod is not legal in any sense of the word. However, getting these will allow you to decimate the roads and intimidate every other motorcyclist around. Tough choice, right?
21 GIMME A HUG PARDNER!
This motorcycle looks like a little robot that’s trying to reach out for an endearing hug. The handlebars look like a set of open arms while the instrument cluster looks like an endearing little robotic face. Basically, it seems to be inviting riders to hug it and, in turn, let it hug the road. The color of this cruiser looks stunning too. According to Motor1, while Victory motorcycles really could never strike a chord with biking enthusiasts, this picture may want them to get one for themselves.
20 WHEN RIDING IS SUCH A DRAG
Most people assume this position if they’ve had a little too much to eat. However, they would not do so on a bike, right? Meet the drag racing of the motorcycle world. According to Jalopnik, Motorcycle Drag Racing or Sprints is a phenomenon in the motorcycle sport and biking world today. It’s like a litmus test for the diehard riding enthusiasts. All your riding skills are put to the test in this ride, where you literally lay down on the bike and let it chew and spit out the track. Make sure you do this on an empty stomach though—it isn’t for the faint-hearted!
19 MEET THE TRACTOR-CYCLE
Who imagined using the first half of a John Deere—a legendary tractor brand—to power the first half of a motorcycle? This quintessential marriage would be a rather formidable one as it not only can house heavyweights, but can actually intimidate every other person on the streets. Plus, you arrive in style at every party you visit in your town. This visibly proud couple has used the LUC engine of their antique tractor to give brain and brawn to their motorcycle. And note the skull in the front? How redneck is that?
18 WE THINK THE BIKE IS COLD
We’ve heard of a zillion accessories on motorcycles, but a bike wearing clothes is just a little too out there. The owner of this motorcycle tried to decorate his or her bike in every possible way. The furry saddle bag actually covers the entire seat of the bike and the gas tank. Plus, there are even feathers above the front headlamp. There are colorful strings attached to the rear of the bike. There’s a Native American feel to the whole motorcycle, and personalization can sure go just about anywhere.
17 THE NEW MICHELIN MAN
This hilarious picture gives a whole new meaning to the Michelin man. The Michelin Man has been the beloved face of the Michelin brand since its birth in 1898 and is one of the most recognizable brand logos in the world. However, the motorcycle in the picture is a Sbarro Concept that actually looks like a deathtrap. It’s like a dream-like bike from Tron that exists somewhere between reality and science fiction, giving the impression of a human wheelbarrow. Everything looks cool until you hit a pothole.
16 RIDING GEAR? PSHAW
This image could be doctored but even then looks fascinating enough to put a smile on our faces. The old lady is riding a Harley like a pro, all the while dressed in a saree (a 6-meter cloth wrapped around the body like a sarong) and flip-flops. You would be able to spot such women from India in fish markets, literally, because they belong to the fish-catching community. You are unlikely to find any of them on a Harley though, which is what makes it such an incongruous image.
15 A LONG WAY HOME
So what do you do when you have one motorcycle, one rider, but a rather large number of pillion riders that need to be ferried to and fro? You could trade in the bike for a car, but if you can’t let go of your beloved two wheels – then this mod may be tailor-made for you. Split the motorcycle in two, play around with the suspension (of course) and install as many pillion seats you want to your heart’s content.
14 THEN THERE’S ALWAYS THIS
If the above idea does not tickle your goat, then there’s this too. Simply hook a strap-on carriage or cart to the back seat of your motorcycle and ferry people around in dubious style. Of course, you can kiss your suspension goodbye, and we’re not sure about the comfort or the quality of the ride the carriage riders will get. Also, what about sticks and stones on the road? They do hurt more than words while driving.
13 SIR, THAT LOOKS NUCLEAR!
So, we are still trying to wrap our heads around this contraption. And we haven’t quite figured it out. It is obviously a two-wheeler, but that is where the resemblance ends. The front end looks like a dangerous missile launcher, with a couple of grapple hooks thrown in for good measure. Honestly, we are not quite sure if this was actually a prop from The Dark Knight or the result of a chop shop’s imagination gone wild. The purpose of the motorcycle could also be nothing more than to turn heads.
12 WHEN THE WIFE WANTED FOUR WHEELS
What if your better half really wanted that fancy sports car that she saw the neighbor’s wife driving in, but you had your heart set on a sports bike? How would you make the two meet? This dude seems to have forged the perfect sports ride, by building a sports car-like side car literally melded with a sports bike. We don’t know if this innovative dude’s marriage survived this contraption, or if the contraption survived the marriage. This is classic thinking out of the box.
11 CHOPPER BIKE, MAD MAX STYLE
This has to be one of the many infamous, strange and apocalyptic vehicles of Mad Max: Fury Road because if it isn’t, we don’t know why the rider would have a flame thrower so strategically placed over his head. So sure, there’s quite the distance between head and flame, but why take the chance. Who would want a vehicle with flammable fuel to have a flame thrower in the first place? The things people do for two bits of flame, er, fame.
10 WHEN YOU REALLY WANTED A SUB
So either this man is a fan of Captain Nemo—or at least the movie version of it—or he’s a sub fan. And no, we don’t mean the sandwiches. The motorcycle, or scooter—we don’t know what has been modded to an extreme point—making it look like a fish out of the water—or a sub out of the water! It looks fairly ridiculous on the road, and would probably look better 20,000 leagues under the sea, even if it can’t run underwater.
9 MAN’S BEST FRIEND, ON TWO WHEELS
Who says the pillion rider needs to have two legs only? This biker and his shaggy dog look awesome on the bike together, especially since the pooch is wearing wind protective goggles. How sweet of the pooch owner and how cooperative of the pooch to actually don them. The dog looks perfectly comfortable as a pillion rider and the bike doesn’t seem to faze him at all – and the biker seems to have full confidence as well in his bike, and his pooch.
8 A NEW KIND OF PROTECTION
Find anything strange with the picture? Look closer. See the black rings around the biker’s midriff. Well, that’s the strange thing! We’re guessing the bike has no storage, and he has to get that stuff from there to here, pronto. The stuff could be just about anything – packed hose, coils of wire, floating tubes, tires and just about anything under the sun that can be packed into a circle with a human torso as its diameter. Hopefully, it isn’t an anaconda.
7 DOUBLE IT UP AS A SUN BED
If you thought motorcycles and two wheels were rather uncomfortable, and four wheels are far better, you may be wrong. At least, this guy could prove you wrong. He’s more than happy parking his ride in the shade away from the sun. Nonchalantly, he doubles the parked bike as a “comfy” place to grab some shut-eye. The man has no balancing problem either and can seemingly sleep in one position for a long time to come.
6 IS THAT A DINO WITH A HUMAN PILLION?
So what do you make of this? A dinosaur riding the motorcycle? A human as a pillion rider? At first glance, the picture is pretty hilarious. The dinosaur seems to be riding the motorcycle, and the man behind him seems to be riding the dinosaur. Then you realize that the man is wearing a dinosaur suit and is half in and half out of it – thus the strange, strange picture. The rider must be a mascot somewhere and slipped out of the suit for ease of riding, and ease of wearing the suit when needed as well.
5 GOING APE WITH APE HANGERS
What was the best thing about the Hollywood blockbuster Wild Orchid? For some, it was the chemistry between Carré Otis and Mickey Rourke. For others, it was the iconic motorcycle scenes in the flick. Mickey rode the custom Harley-Davidson chopper with massive ape hangers and the way he carried these scenes through was rather something. However, this boy in the picture, perhaps inspired by the same, has taken it to a ridiculous level altogether. The ape hangers on the scooter look funny and painful as well. Too much of a good thing can be bad.
4 WHEN IN NEED, MAKE IT UP
In India, there’s a word in the Oxford dictionary that’s “Jugaad.” It means turning limited resources in an innovative way into a makeshift arrangement. In this picture, the man removed the rear half of the motorcycle and fixed in a two-wheeled cart to transport stuff. So basically, the erstwhile motorcycle is now a trike cart. It’s against the law, of course, and cannot be registered with any transport authority. Most traffic cops in developing countries though tend to overlook these transgressions people make in a bid to feed their families in the best possible way.
3 BIG LOVE NEEDS BIG WHEELS
So, if you and your special half are in love with food and motorcycles, this is the kind of rear wheels you may need to support your lifestyle. The modified motorcycle is armed with heavyweight conjoined wheels on the rear. Frankly, this kind of a monster wheel is big enough to let the rider sail through any kind of terrain. It doesn’t matter if the new transporter looks funny, for they’re just a happy couple enjoying every moment. Maybe they tried to make a Yamaha Niken on their own but reverse side front.
2 A BOBBLE HEAD / HELMET COP
The oversized helmet is simply hilarious. This may be a doctored image, because why would anyone sport such a huge helmet in the first place? Since this a cop atop a cop bike, it’s even funnier and takes away from the authority of the cop. Imagine if something like this waved you down and tried to cite you or give you a ticket. You’d first have to stop laughing before you could apologize to the cop for any misdemeanor, and probably end up laughing all over again.
1 A VERY HEARTY HARLEY
So this motorcycle proclaims, “bad boys ride bad boys”—and this bike seems like a bad boy indeed. In fact, while technically a trike, it’s the strangest trike we’ve ever seen. Most trikes add another wheel to the front or the rear tire conjointly, to give better balance to the hitherto two-wheeler. One doesn’t usually see a third tire attached to the rear end of the motorcycle in such a manner, with an added seat as well to make it a bad boy capable of three pillion riders. Wonder what the authorities have to say about this bad boy?
