Engineered the ultimate DIY escape.

If this guy ever gets stranded on an island he'll motor out of it in an attack sub with nuclear weapons capabilities.
For the people saying he could have walked, he is old so…..
He didn't want to leave his car, so he took it with him the only way he could… As a motorcycle…
A Version of Ducati
A new bumblebee
12 days?? He could have walked the 20 miles in a single night
I would have walked 20 miles.
All I need would be some water.

Something odd about this story. 12 days in the desert means he must of had a decent supply of water. Could have easily walked 20 miles in 24 hours at a slow pace to conserve energy.
this is the most mad-max thing!
Wasn't this guy in Pokémon XD gale of darkness? Have I imagined that?
If you crash a plane on an island with this guy, bet he’ll build a motor boat with the parts back to land.
Is this Dr.Eggman?
20 Miles? Less that a day walk.
This guy is straight out of mad max
It's the guy from league of legends
When he wear the goggles…
Someone's gotta go fast.
He wouldn't have to experience that if he listen to the military…
Well everything happens for a reason tho. A nice reason..
PR stunt.
Of course he did
Is this Doktor Nefario?
He looks like chumbucket from mad max
Bullsh1t story…
Eggman
Respect sir
He could have just walked lmao
This guy is no genius, he spent twelve days working on something to carry him out when he could have just walked out in a couple days.
