The Lamborghini bike/tractor takes me back to the LeMay American Car Museum where I volunteer. We had a display of exotic cars and among them were Lamborghini including a tractor which is where his company started, farm implements, but you could see it all waiting to happen with two details on this tractor. First, the engine and transmission castings had 'Lamborghini" in lovely flowing script all over the place but then there were these, beautifully machined aluminum shift knobs, this in the day and age of the ubiquitous black blob of plastic shift controls knobs on all the Farmall, John Deere, etc. tractors. The man was destine to build exotic sports cars, couldn't be helped.
