It has been to our attention that the longest bike in the world, officialy registered by Guiness record book is from Russia.
It’s creator Oleg “Leshij” Rogov was from Tver city, a small town near Moscow city. He was a big biker fan since his childhood. One day he has got an idea to build the longest bike in the world, according to his own story “probably after he got too much beer inside”.
So after two years of planning and delaying he did it. He built the bike that was 31 feet 4 inches long (9 metres 57 cm). After the thing was ready he sent his claim to the Guiness book and got registered as longest bike in the world.
The saddest part of the story is that he got into accident and died this summer, still we have the photos of his creation, it would be some kind of tribute to him.
R.I.P. Mr “Leshij”!
looks like he made it out of a construction crane.

Did he die trying to ride that thing for the first time? Or was he side swiped by another car?
Pop a wheelie on that and you would hit your head on a street lamp!

He died during water rafting with his brother. It is very unfortunate. From what I heard he was a great guy and a big motorcycle enthusiast.
Rest In Peace.

Que tal, mi nombre es Dinah Dinh. Las grandes obras literarias enriquecen pero tambien generan un apasionamiento literario enorme, al menos en mi persona que me he descubiero amante de los libros y de la literatura desde que era muy chico e iva a la escuela. Asi ocurre con el Quijote en todas las epocas pero muy especialmente en la Generacion del 98, que ve al hidalgo loco como representacion de la esencia espanola. Esto es lo que expone el escritor Miguel de Unamuno en su bello libro sobre el monumental Quijote recientemente mencionado. La critica literaria, realizada a veces por personas que no han escrito ni una sola linea en toda su vida que merezca la pena, encuentra un serio problema con algunos de estos libros, porque se prestan a diversas interpretaciones culturales. Y, si ademas, todo se deja librado a la interpretacion del lector, que a veces no esta adecuadamente formado, todo se hace cada vez mas complejo. El amor los libros nos une, de tal modo que los saludo afectuosamente a mis queridos amigos de este blog, Dinah Dinh.
