00:00 Hundreds of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts are in South Dakota for the Sturgis rally,
00:06 but not all of them are riding hogs.
00:09 Some of them are cruising on wheelbarrows, jet skis, there's even a couch.
00:13 Kristen Kite looks at some of the odd contraptions people have bought.
00:21 From mini monster trucks to wheelbarrow sidecars to a motorized couch, the unusual motorcycles
00:28 can be found at the Buffalo Chip's Camp Zero.
00:31 When people think of motorcycle rallies, they think of Harley Davidson's, big bad biker
00:37 dudes, and we're just trying to change it and make it our own.
00:42 Not necessarily our own, but our own vision of what we think a motorcycle rally should
00:46 be.
00:47 For some, the custom bike is all about relaxation.
00:50 It's not built for speed, it's built for comfort.
00:52 A member of Camp Zero says he got the idea to build this comfy seated ride when he was
00:57 scrolling on Facebook Marketplace.
00:59 I found grandma's beautiful floral pattern couch for free and dropped everything I was
01:06 doing and went over there and picked it up and then one thing led to another and here
01:10 we are.
01:12 Leitner estimated the entire contraption costed him about $112, which Leitner says is a fraction
01:18 of the cost for the comfortable experience.
01:20 You steer with your eyes, you twist the throttle with your hand, and you stop with your foot.
01:26 Leitner says his bike won't be winning any speed races since the top speed is only about
01:31 seven miles per hour.
01:32 Okay guys, reporting here at the Buffalo Chip, I'm Kristen Kite.
01:36 - Yay!
