The Motorcycle Tree

Motorcycle Tree

No April Fools here.  Those are real motorcycles in a real tree, and I saw it with my own eyes (which are also real). The story goes that a bunch of bikers would get together for a yearly celebration of some sort, and would always burn a bike.  Then, they threw the burned-out skeleton into this tree, which neighbors our maple-syrup making friends.  After several years of this ritual, the tree ended up looking like this.

I just thought it was cool.

    You must be April foolin'! Your eyes can't possibly be real! But if you are actually being serious and your eyes do, indeed exist, then I totally believe in the motorcycle tree, too. We don't have those in Poland.

    THat would be so cool to see!
    A guy in a neighboring town built a stone henge out of broken cars in his yard. It was pretty awesome looking until the city made him take it down.

    I am loving this! Makes me want to start a special tree. Maybe a sneaker tree, with all my old running shoes!

    That IS pretty cool! Although, I feel kind of bad for the tree. It seems like it would be hard to support the extra weight.

    And I thought the shoe tree in Minneapolis was cool—this just blows my mind! But how do they get them up there??

    Impressive they got them up there. Seems easier to plant a motorcycle and wait for it to grow into a tree.

    That's pretty cool that no one has bothered them, but allowed them to remain on the tree. I like the sepia-ish picture too.
