A German motorcycle craftsman has created “Satte Literschüssel,”* a beautifully barbaric beast of bike powered by a tractor engine, sporting metal-banded ash forks and what appears to be a shovel for a seat. My only question: how would one steer with an axe in one hand and a shield in the other? (I suspect the solution involves an iron phallus sheath on the steering column.)

* Not exactly sure what that first letter is supposed to be in that script. Fixed. Thanks, guys!
So it’s big bike they wish they had in Mad Max.
The name is so weird because it is a pun on “Satellitenschüssel”, which means satellite dish.
You can even build your own little teutonic motorcycle:

I didn’t have the time yet to finish my Literschüssel…

It seems to takes its inspiration from a german comic called “Werner”. It’s mostly about bikers, and is quite popular over there.
it is “Satte Literschüssel”
it means something like “Full LiterEngine Bike” but ist a inventet word
it originates from the Werner Comic Series
hey,
it is called “Satte Literschüssel” not “Gatte Literschüssel”. these are old german letters!!!!!
greets from a germ;)
S, it’s “Satte Literschüssel”.
This is associated with one of Germanies most beloved comic (anti-but not really anti-)heroes: Werner, e.g.:

A Teutonic Terrorcycle – Awesome! Any relation to Lili Von Shtupp, the Teutonic Titwillow?
p.s. there’s a rumor that this is actually a “Satte Literschussel”

Whatever you call it, it translates to “FUCKIN’ A.”
