Things We Saw Today: IRL Star Wars Speeder Bike is Only Missing The Forests of Endor

This real-life speeder bike has been recreated by Vintage Works, a custom bike shop in Wisconsin. Not only is it officially road-ready, but it even recreates the speeder bike sounds from Return of the Jedi. It technically doesn’t have the power to float off the ground, but it does allow you to get your Star Wars geek on.
