Calne Scaffold Motorbike
« on: October 19, 2013, 19:08:33 »
This fanstastic construction is just outside Calne

It's part of the marketing to advertise the Calne Bike Show, which is on early in the Summer. The detail on the rear lights and indicators is excellent.

Size wise, it's about 12 feet high. With the plinth it is on I guess it can be trucked into town for the show.

Nice bit of scaffolding! :clap:

 Modern equivalent of that white horse on the hillside, or the nearby Avebury stone circle, eh?

I think it will be a pile of rust long before Avebury disappears.

I like it. Reminds me of the running wicker man by the side of the M5 which I used to pass regularly a few years ago - is that still there?

The wicker man was torched and re-built several times

Sadly the wicker man is not so isolated, being nearly surrounded by housing and a 4-kinormous ASDA depot not far away...
