May be a repost, but dang.. this thing would remind me too of doing yard work! 
Info-Still remember the Dolmette, which was touted as the first chainsaw-powered motorcycle in the world? Now we have two new videos about this vehicle. In case you didn’t know, the Dolmette is powered by 24 petrol chainsaws with a 5-speed Harley-Davidson transmission that generates a power output of 125 kW (170 PS) and 130 Nm of torque at the centrifugal clutches. Watch the videos after the jump.

I know, sometimes the answer as to "why" really is one of "because you can," "because it was there," "beer" or "because she said I could."  But that has to be one of the top half dozen silliest things I've ever seen.  Trouble is I'm really curious now about how they combined the drive system.
