What’s more American than absorbing foreign holidays into our culture and them using them as an excuse to get plastered? Doing so while riding into the sunset on this bad boy. – Ms. Fix-It

Is that a Volkswagon eating a biker? Or… a biker crapping a Volkswagon? This is confusing.
How American is a German car company anyway? And it’s Wagen
those aren’t flag stripes, they’re cartoon lines to give the illusion of speed. Volkswagens are German motorcars, this is a volkswagon.
And no helmet?! What is he?! Insane?!
He’s wearing something, or at least drawn lines on his face and head where the helmet should go. Now he just needs to tattoo on the rest of his riding gear.
I think it’s a football helmet.
I thought it was a gas mask!
Now all it needs is a rocket launcher made of tin cans, some kerosene and a Hoover.
At least he has his brake propelled surf boards.
I wonder if he could get a ticket for not having a seat-belt on.
What a half-assed attempt at being “as American as apple pie!” If he REALLY wanted his ride to ooze Americana, he would have used a Woodie for the back end instead of a VW and he would be towing an Airstream trailer.
Have you tried to find a Woodie lately? If you did, the classic car afficianados would lynch anyone who cut it up like this. Nobody cares about a Bug being sacrificed.
It makes perfect sense, really. American spirit built upon the gutted carcass of Germany.
Americans love to live inside the gutted carcasses of dead Germans.
Even for America, it’s hard to believe that thing is road legal.
not really. it had to pass inspection, and i’d venture to say the inspector was probably very thorough. it’s rather well done; garish, but well done.
Here we see a rare species of beetle, The Rare Three wheeled Beetle. It was long thought that this particular species did not exist outside of captivity. so this photo comes as a shock to anyone within the Autological community.
Beetle eating a motorcycle – evolution is cool!
If he got the brakes and engine hooked up properly, good for him!
OTOH, I’m picturing a collision with anything in front of him. Squish.
old vdubs lend themselves to this kinda chicanery cuz the controls are easy to hook up. mirrors mounted on handlebars are useless though.
Why is it that recent photos on this website have an *ahem* green quality to them?
Centaur, Minotaur, Volksataur?

“Red, white, and blue one!”
Here we see the Patriotic Hog Beetle. It is a curious creature created by mating a Beetle with a Hog. Its coloring allows it to blend into its surroundings. They are found all over the US, but large populations have grown in such places as Sturgis, SD; Daytona Beach, and Myrtle Beach.
So the kludge is that he encased a beetle-cycle in a giant block of green jello? How does that solve anything?
Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the turning radius!..
I wonder if this wasn’t actually taken sometime in the 70’s.. has that kind of a vibe to it.
Some people have trouble letting go. In school, I had a teacher who wore plaid pants and a white belt every day, wwwaaayyy past the time when you could easily buy such an ensemble in a department store, but I guess it was just really hard to wear out polyester.
This is known as flying the flag at half-assed.
Looks like he’s bugging out.
This green is pi%%ing me off!! >(
“American as apple pie” you’ve got to be kidding me. Apple pie’s Canadian! LOL
That’s right….
Just like Spaghetti is actually Irish…
And French Fries are actually Belgian. (No joke, they really are!)
Hmm… deep-fried Twinkies? I don’t know who else would want to claim them, as evil as they are…
Its jamie hyneman in his spare time.
…Okay who let the cyborg experiments free?
Whoa- time warp-this is from the way back machine ain’t it
whoa… thats one hell of a side-car
It’s a bit green… The photo, I mean…

Great idea. Tie a couple of ropes to the handlebars and ride in the bug when it’s raining.

VW’s get great mileage, so this was a very smart move for this economical traveler.
