Real Life Mad Max

Once Emile Leray's Citroën vehicle broke down in the heart of the Sahara Desert, this individual wasn't able to fix it, and so he did the following: he modified the vehicle right into a Mad Max like motorbike! The original report is written in French, and therefore the Google translate is quite rough. He was basically working nearly two weeks to build this unique motorcycle.


"While traveling through the desert somewhere in north west Africa in his Citroen 2CV , [Emile] is stopped, and told not to go any further due to some military conflicts in the area. Not wanting to actually listen to this advice, he decides to loop around, through the desert, to circumvent this roadblock. After a while of treading off the beaten path, [Emile] manages to snap a swing arm on his vehicle, leaving him stranded. He decided that the best course of action was to disassemble his vehicle and construct a motorcycle from the parts. This feat would be impressive on its own, but remember, he's still in the desert and un-prepared. If we're reading this correctly, he managed to drill holes by bending metal and sawing at it, then un-bending it to be flat again".
