Italian designer François Knorreck created this motorcycle sidecar in 10,000 hours of work over a ten-year period.
The motorcycle sidecar is a two-in-one vehicle that cost Knorreck 15,000 euros to create. The 1000cc Laverda motorcycle sidecar has three exhausts and uses parts from three different car companies: Volkswagen, Audi and Citroen.
I would feel safe riding this snazzy motorcycle!
Implications - DIY projects have become so popular that people have started up websites such as Etsy to sell their unique creations. Consumers tend to like products that they know were handmade by the person they are buying it from because a lot of hard work and care went into the product. Small businesses that sell their own items will gain respect from consumers because of a sense of community.
