My name is Howard Stone. Briefly, some years ago I had a delivery job in Southampton, England (I won't say what I was delivering or for whom). It was very boring and badly paid but I soon found a way of livening it up.
I discovered that the van I had to drive could very easily be persuaded to produce very loud, frightening backfires as and when I wanted it to (I'm not telling you how, find out for yourselves) and as I've always been keen on photography, I tried an experiment.
I mounted a camera, pointing backwards, from the back window of the van and operated it with a cable-release long enough to be operated whilst driving. I would make the van backfire and photograph the frightened mayhem I'd created as I drove past. Out of (partial) consideration for my fellow man, I avoided pensioners, dentists' surgeries and gynaecologists.
I had a lot of extra work to do. I had to damp down camera shake, I had to get the timing right and had to do a lot of work in the darkroom to get a good enlargement. Don't forget, as I couldn't point the camera (I was driving the van) I had to use a standard 50mm lens and enlarge the interesting bit. I never knew what I'd captured until I developed the film and I had a lot of failures.

On the 22nd of December 2004, Kyle Van Horn taped a disposable camera to a piece of black foamcore and inscribed upon it the following message: "ATTENTION POSTAL WORKERS! Please help us with our project. As this camera travels across the country we want photos of all whom it encounters. Please take a photo before you pass it along. Thank you!"

Here's the motorcycle I started with! It was the same model used in the Batman TV show and the 1966 movie. It is a 1966, 250cc, Yamaha YDS-3 (YM-1), which I acquired from eBay for $405.00 in 2002.
I then needed to find the fiberglass parts to build the Batcycle. Well...to make a long story short, I wound up acquiring the original fiberglass pieces & molds to build my replica. My goal was to make my bike as close to the original TV Batcycle as possible and 2 years later I achieved that goal!
