What is this thing that I saw yesterday.  It has a see-through fuel tank and air cleaner housing. Because my files are so large, I will have to make two posts to give this motorized device its due.  ::)

I will go out on a limb and say that is a Confederate Motorcycle.

Wow, not cheap.....$65,000 to $155,000....out of my price range.

I do believe you nailed it.  I bet this is the cheap version as only the engine was chrome plated.   ::)

Now I see it.  Apparently, I am not all that observant when it comes to flat black paint. They should have chrome plated that name.   ::)

What ever it is, I'm glad the portable out houses weren't see thru.

The image of a 320 pound lady sitting bare butted on an outhouse seat doesn't appeal to me at the moment.

See through portable outhouses are definitely a niche market in the USA.  In France...…..could be the latest fad.

See the scenery majestueux in all its glory while sitting on the can. Who would not wish such a glorious thing.
