Thats not even a bazooka, thats a recoilless cannon! In Denmark the resistance fighters fitted a 20mm cannon to the side car of a motorcycle.

I have read that skilled crews could  fire thier vespa's recoiless rifle while moving. I'm also fairly sure there is a kit available somewhere (the topic came up before, sometime last year I think)

That would be Denmark's finest (and almost only) contribution to motorcycling, the Nimbus, fitted with a Madsen cannon:



They wern't generally supposed to fire the gun from the sidecar, but the fact that the headlight glass (level with the muzzle) is broken suggests that this one has been.
