Those motorbikes are awesome. The Yamaha is a bit much, but the Suzuki G-Stryder is gorgeous. It's a pity that the more extreme looks you see in automobile concept pieces are so rarely passed on to the consumer market.
That Monotracer pod thing seems to have two secret extra wheels - you can see one of them in the picture above, mostly covered by a panel, just in front of the back wheel. You can see them extended a bit here: http://preview.tinyurl.com/6bxnjt on a different version.
Can't work out quite what the point of them is, though, unless it's to let you take EXTREMELY radical corners... Although then surely you'd have to get out to tip the bike upright again afterward...

I lived for a year in Portland, and often drove through the gorge just to appreciate its great beauty. There is an old road and a new road, and I highly recommend the "old" road for its great beauty and lack of traffic. I always thought it was a shame that Mark Twain wasn't born there instead of Missouri. Another beautiful spot on the Oregon coast is Cape Foulweather near Depoe Bay. Named by Capt James Cook, it is the highest point on the coast and you can watch the whale migration easily from there.

The wings are probably real. The National Patriotic Front of Liberia was infamous for child soldiers who wore womens' wigs, dresses, etc. in combat in the belief that it confused their enemies' bullets.

Your "tank accident" isn't an an accident.. It's the only way to change the tracks on a tank.. One of the links gets unbolted, the tank drives off, a new track gets laid in place and the tank drives on it again.
How else would you replace a +2 tons "wheel" ?
Read more
-
Actually, It looks like it is an accident, as the tank doesn't appear to have a new track on. Normally to change a track, the old track is unpinned at the front, the new track pinned to it, the tank driven forward until it is on the new track, and the old one is removed. This looks like one of the track pins has snapped while the tank was moving, and it's coasted several meters.

Your "old Russian art" looks a rather modern Baltic thing, something from Estonia, Lithuania or Latvia. The theme is still a mystery, though.
I identify the "Chtulhu harvest" as the Buddha's Hand citrus. That's the shape it typically is. The fruit is used symbolically in Chinese art.

Considering the "Russian Art":
I don't know what the guy with the ring on the anvil is doing, but the woman seems to hold a pair of scissors..
the theme is "trades" it seems.
The Library could be seen as insulting, however the author of that list has some bias to T.Roosevelt and Dostoevsky - it is easy to replace many of the books with equivalent ones of other authors/countries and languages. These lists are always quite arbitrary and say much about their authors' taste.

There's a similar (same?) Studebaker on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. The card there indicates this was to be a nuclear-powered vehicle that balanced gyroscopically on one centered wheel, and was also to have a energy force field--hence no need for windows. All courtesy our friend the atom.

The giant snail is definitely NOT a fake. They're not safe to handle though, because they can carry a disease (I forget which) that they can pass on to humans.
