No it's not an outtake from that '80s A-Ha video. The illustration depicts a stunt by motorcyclist Charles Lajoie, who revved his hog up to "75 miles per hour" and crashed through "two walls of flaming, inch-thick wood." It happened at Belmont Park, a local amusement park, back in 1934.
I kind of miss Belmont Park. It's a miracle nobody got killed by those rickety old rides.
