This group of Russian lads decided to make a homemade trike to pass the time, but like most amateur made automobiles, it didn’t last very long…

As some of you will know, when you live out in the back arse of nowhere you have to get creative in order to pass the time. So like any group of young rural lads with access to a two-stroke engine and scrap metal, they built a nice motorised trike using two bikes.

Everything looks to be going well as the Russian lad takes off on the trike, which handles the rough terrain surprisingly well. However, it’s another case of human error causing the problem as the driver steers the machine directly into a guide wire attached to a large silo.

The driver is hurled off the trike, but he’s quick to get back up to see the damage caused. It’s pretty funny, albeit fairly dangerous, but we’re sure at least one of you out there has had a similar experience…
