An ethnic Uighur man Abulajon drives his self-made
giant motorcycle during a test in Manas county,
Xinjiang Uighur autonomous region, on April 27,
2013. Abulajon, a 30-year-old Uighur sewage
treatment plant worker, spent a year making his 660
pound motorcycle measuring 4.3 meters (14 feet) in
length and 2.4 meters (7.8 feet) tall, although it
makes it impossible for him to drive it on the
street. It cost him about 8,000 yuan ($1,300) to buy
all the parts from salvage stations and the
converted engine can power the motorcycle with a
speed of 40 km per hour (24.8 miles per hour), local
media reported.
