This is how much you can lean on the bike while the tire is on the ground!!

loving physics, how does it work?!

Edit: Jesus, he drilled holes in his plastics and even his license plate to reduce weight and make it less air resistant.



And his custom Intek© turn signals.

but before i fly my .... (testicle) hit the gas tank and damaged the gas tank belive it or not!! My friends made fun of it big times. "Shervin! you must have big balls!!! drat look at that poor gas tank...." any way i sold that bike but it becomes experiened and it doesn't end always good. It finished good becasue i hit the car with 30 mph, if it was 100mph something else might happen. These sticker are also use to create more friction between rider and the bike. There are veriety of these sticker (front of gas tank, on the side of gas tank, below of gas tank, on the top of gas tank, behind the pessenger seat and....)

I went to a court one day to pay off one ticket. I usually go to the court in the last 30minutes to avoid the crowd line. My beautiful bike didn't have too much gasoline but i calculate if i stopped by a gas station i can not make it to the court. I was in the way to the court my bike ran out of gas and turned off in the freeway. i pulled over and pushed the bike for about 2 miles. I got tired, i stopped to refresh my energy. I was in the side walk infront of a security bank office. I looked at my bike; It still attracts me! i decided to record the it's pose!!

Taking one minute to put enough gas in the tank to ride the whole way is definitely slower than pushing the bike for 2 miles.

This is what stupidity looks like.

My spinal cord got cut during the attack of one huge powerful wave in ocean on September 2008 and i got paralyzed inside the water while i was surfing. It was the decision of God that i am standing right now! God gave me the nerves back in my feet so i took my self to the beach. The life gaurd called emergency and they sent me to hospital by a helicupter. The life gaurd told me you are number 2 this week. We already warned about the waves on the Radio!! Anyway ....i was in the hospital for 5 days and i got released becasue i didn't have insurance. Of course, Doctors didn't tell me but they said in the first and second day, that i need spinal cord surgery immidiatly. Different workers asked for insurance or financial abilities. I didn't have any so when from the 2nd day i start moving my feet and from the third day i start moving my hand alittle better the hospital released me in 4th or 5th day with this exuce that we are not sure you need surgery or not. come back in 2 weeks and we check you agian. My doctor came to my room before and told me that my spinal cord condition is just horrible and if i was a football (rogby) player i got retired for the rest of my life with this damage. I belive him. He told me do not work out do not life anyweight and do not drive for 6 months. Becasue doctor told me not to work out i didn't work out too much. my body got softer than before. With the help of God and my decicision and attempting to do that i am going to work out again and make this limited body like stone again. Look at my punch! I love my punch! The power of my punch comes from my brain. That is why how hard it is. I belive each human has the power to destroy a mountain in his punch if he use his brain.

This is the throttle grip. Rub some grease inside your throttle grip to get a smoother, faster, easier rotation when you apply the gas.

Although, I have to confess... I do love his philosophy on maintenance and modifications.

Also rub some grease on the handle bar for maximum satisfaction!! If you are a good mechanic, you can repair the vehicle good, if you are an enginneer you can make a good engine, if you are a designer you can designe a good vehicle, if you are a truth Driver you know what your vehicle is missing (!!), If you are all the above, your vehicle will be the best when you fix it because you know every thing. This small rub greasing that i showed in this picture came from all of the above.

Got a text off one of the lads. his engine had started making a slight knocking yesterday, on the way home while overtaking two cars, this happened.


managed to keep it upright and get stopped despite the oil all over his brakes, wheels, red hot headers (end of a 25 mile commute) and legs. was about a mile from his house, and his girlfriend heard the bang from their yard.
