If I was stranded in the desert, I’d sure want a kick stand on my means of escape too.

Anyone can build a motorcycle from a Citreon. Lets see him do that with a '69 Chevy Impala. 2012 Chevy Volt

He left out the beer holder??

“After looking at the bike, it was likely built in a shop.”
I agree...he allegedly had a cracked frame and a broken swing arm...something he couldn’t fix, yet he was able to build this?
And he even found time to add a kickstand!

“I seriously doubt the story associated with this project. After looking at the bike, it was likely built in a shop.”
Either that, or he just happened to have welding equipment and some serious other machine tools in the trunk.

If he’s so all-fired clever, what was he doing driving a Citroen in the first place?

It's French. He left out the wine rack.

I read it on the Interwebs. So, it must be true.

I never go anywhere without my portable Oxy/Acetylene welding & cutting rig. Unless I’m flying, in which case I take a hacksaw and several tubes of J-B Weld epoxy glue. Or at least a case of Duct Tape.

You’re such a skeptic. One time, my horse broke down in the middle of West Texas. I used the spare parts to build a camel and trekked on out. Sheesh! It ain’t rocket science. If I’d been wearing my spurs that day, I’d ‘a built me a helo and flown out. You work with what ya have.
