Tracked Motorcycle - I want this sooo bad...

[Warbaby]

Coming up at auction in Germany - alas, at an opening bid of 6000 euro, it's a bit out of my self-indulgent range.

The NSU Kettenrad (literally "chain wheel" in German). Just before the final battle scene in Saving Private Ryan, Reibin (Edward Norton) can be seen riding one.

If you managed to buy it for anything near 6000 euro you would be laughing. It will go for closer to 60,000 at the moment.

Just looked at the link AFTER posting and the starting bid IS 60,000.

The Kettenrad's were used as aircraft tugs by the Luftwaffe also.

I have a rubber foot pedal pad off of one of those Kettenrads, from WWII. That's it !
