A knuckle head mini trike! It won’t go far with no transmission and no fuel tank.
Good bar stool.
It's a Harley motor, even with a tranny and gas tank it still wouldn't go far.

Used to know a biker dude in Madison WI that had a turbo knuckle. He rode it just about daily.
I never seen a tranny riding one of them…..
In 1927, Professor Thomas Parnell wanted to show his physics students a simple truth:
Some things that look solid... aren't.
So, he began an experiment that would outlive him—and most of his students.
He poured a thick, black substance called pitch into a glass funnel. It looked like a rock. But pitch is a liquid—just an incredibly slow one.
He waited three years for it to settle. Then, in 1930, he cut the tip of the funnel.
And waited.
It took eight years for the first drop to fall.
And every drop since has taken about a decade to follow.
To date, only nine drops have fallen. That’s it.
It’s called the Pitch Drop Experiment, and it’s still going today at the University of Queensland in Australia.
It holds the Guinness World Record for the longest-running laboratory experiment in history. And it’s taught us that pitch is 230 billion times thicker than water.
Scientists tried filming the eighth drop with a webcam.
The camera glitched. The drop fell... unseen.
Even now, the setup remains—quiet, undramatic, but still moving.
And maybe that’s the point.
That in a world of instant everything, there’s beauty in patience.
That science isn’t always explosions—it’s also the hush of time passing.
And that even the slowest things... still move.

I'd like to see the age of the truck that pulled it in there

This image took decades of technical diving and photography experience. Just to dive the Yacht Gunilda in 270 feet of icy cold water in Northern Lake Superior i used my rebreather with trimix gas to have a clear head at that depth. Small mistakes can cost you your life. Bailout bottles were needed and meticulous planning for emergencies. Drysuit experience and at the time I wasn't using heat. We have very limited time at those depths and to spend too much time means even more decompression and possibly DCS and there is no chamber thats too close. As far as the photography goes, decades of lighting experience and working with a phenomenal team of friends to help as safety divers and assistants. I envisioned images for years that i wanted to attempt to create. The shipwreck sits in complete darkness so all light is artificial. The piano is such a unique thing to see inside of a shipwreck so capturing an image as if daylight was pouring in through the window seemed pretty cool. It was very small, very silty and the windows still have broken glass that can cut a drysuit or dryglove risking a leak if you aren't careful. I try and make each shot look "effortless" but trust me, a lot of effort goes into each one.
Built 1897, sank 1911 after striking a rocky shoal

Short version the Yacht owner saved himself $15 by not a hiring a local pilot familiar with the area's channels.

Incredible find thanks for posting. I will look for more of her work.
Me too! Toyed with the idea of building one, but - like most things lately - the thought was much more entertaining than the actual process/expense. Have seen a few Ewe Toob videos, some of those things scoot!
Look closely. Appears to be a 53-55 Ford.

found a 1953 Wisconsin highway map
putting them at the red dot with a 3 SW of Madison WI. Now a dense urban area with a complicated interchange.

That looks very much like Honda NC750X. But it isn't me, as I haven't been able to find those motorcycle boots yet
I also suspect it is the DCT version, as there may be complications with changing gears....
