FAIRVIEW, Alberta -- The race for the biggest Alberta roadside attraction has just gotten one cool contender.

Towns across the province already boast a host of the world's "biggest," including a hulking perogy, a towering kubasa and a massive Ukrainian Easter egg.

But the town of Fairview has a big idea that has nothing to do with food.

The town of about 31-hundred has kick-started a plan to build a motorcycle that's up to four-storeys high.

It's designed to draw attention to the motorcycle programs offered at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology's Fairview campus.

The school offers Canada's only program to train Harley-Davidson mechanics, as well as certificate and apprenticeship programs for those who work on other makes.
