In 1993 Emile Leray, then a 43-year-old former electrician, decided to go on an adventure and drive his Citroen 2CV from the city of Tan Ta and cross the Moroccan desert. However, not all went according to plan. After going off road Emile crashed his car and was left stranded in the middle of nowhere. Deciding that he wouldn’t make it out of the desert on foot, Emile decided to build a makeshift motorbike using parts from his now wrecked car.

That is cool, I read that last week and was pretty amazed.
 
On this contraction you can lean it over to 16 degrees, extreme care is needed to avoid the fatal 17th degree , . . . .
 
I would like to see the left side to see if there is a chain (or whatever) driving the one of the wheels. Personally I think he watched Road Warrior way too many times.

I can't vouch for the validity of any of the story, but they say...
But it’s the 2CV transmission that’s truly surprising – a drum drives the rear wheel by friction
