I'm bitterly jealous of those kids on the Red Bull bikes. What a freaking awesome childhood.

Cool Pokemon cards you got this weekend, Jeff. What did I do this weekend? Oh, nothing much really. I just flew to loving Spain and raced one of the most well developed motorcycles in existence (for its class) on a professional race circuit and hung out with some of the best moto racers the world has ever seen. Also, I'm probably going to be a giant pussy magnet once I get to highschool.

I wouldn't be - if you read the interviews with Stoner when he was a kid on the international circuit you just feel sorry for him because he comes across as so lonely and isolated from normal children.

Yup. You don't make any friends, really, because you're competing with everyone out there, and it's not like you're in school or anything so...it's pretty hard on them.

So you've made yourself an FZR400 with a CBR900 engine shoehorned in. What do you now? Rest on your laurels? I don't think so! You get yourself another FZR400 Deltabox frame, and break out the frame jig!




:10bux: To whoever can guess what that engine came out of.

Oh, and you also fabricate a custom girder front end for FZR900.




Madness. Pure, awesome, madness.

Probably not quite finished yet. But then again his MotoGP 990V5-powered boardtracker originally didn't have brakes.

I can see the rear brake pedal so the rotor its probably on the other side. (like stock).

And you can see the front brake reservoir so i assume there is a black lever attached.

It has its brakes, you can kinda see a front brake lever and a rear brake pedal on it. You can see little bits of the rear brake caliper sticking out behind the sprocket(single-sided swingarm) and the reservoirs for both, too. I like the bike, but he should bring the rake in a bit though. The front seems to stick out a bit too much.
