If you long to be a child again but can't bring yourself to play with your children's toys or take periodic naps during work, then you need to check out the Parker Brothers Green Machine. The guys over at Parker Brothers Choppers have created an adult-sized Bigwheel, modeled after what is possibly one of the most badass children's toys ever, the Green Machine Bigwheel.
The Parker Brothers Green Machine looks exactly like the original Green Machine and even operates the same way. The Parker Brothers Green Machine has a 45-inch front wheel and is powered by an 80 cubic inch Harley Davidson Evo engine. Unfortunately, due to the crazy nature of this project, the Parker Brothers Green Machine is likely a one-off creation that will never see the streets. I guess drifting into a parking space at 50 mph is frowned upon by some people.
