Going Commando

Although existing only in concept form and with no formal ties to the German auto-maker, industrial designer Mehmet Doruk Erdem has penned what we think is one of the most striking land-speed-style motorcycle designs to appear in recent times. Named the 'Apollo Streamliner' and built for outright top speed, the machine’s fairing is highly reminiscent of vehicle bodywork produced during the Art Deco period, ensuring very low wind-resistance. Other classic and custom-inspired styling cues include the exposed engine, spoke wheels and purposeful brown leather saddle.

Indeed, this very machine almost met an early demise in the crusher and would probably have been turned into tin cans and cooking foil  had it not been for the quick work of Vincent fan Harry Lloyd who, having heard that its previous owner had bust its gearbox and somehow managed to lose its wheels, rushed to its rescue with the aforementioned £10 note and sporty carb.
