In that regard, I see no evidence that the "Million Dollar Steam Cycle" pictured is steam powered -- it would appear to be a non-functional work of art. The motor in the photo bears little resemblance to a steam engine, and there's no boiler or steam generator of any kind in evidence. On the designer Chicara's own site it describes it as 'steampunk', not steam. People have built steam-powered motorcycles, but this isn't one of them. According to Wikipedia, "steampunk" refers to a genre of literature, not actual physical devices. Maybe I'm hopelessly behind the times and current lingo, but "Steampunk" would appear to *not* be synonymous with "steam powered". "Steam" used in connection with a vehicle would normally imply steam powered, as in "steam car", "Steam boat" etc. So you can't really use "steam cycle" as shorthand to mean "steampunk cycle" -- the phrase is already taken so to speak.

Crappy execution. You've TOTALLY misidentified the owner of STMPNK. The lovely car with the Massachusetts license plate belongs to and is being modded by another steam punk legend entirely: Jake VonSlatt, the brain, hands and genius behind http://steampunkworkshop.com/ Jake has spent way too much time on that car to have the credit ripped off. Great idea. Crappy execution.
