How many ridiculously awesome bikes per continent do you own? 1 per, also today I wanted to test out my new external mic for the gopro 2 and almost crashed when some deer ran up on the road and caused me to poo poo my pants. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8cHS9U5-cI watch it in HD if you want to see them, it's at min 2:38 if you want to skip watching me ride.

I was riding fire roads on the KTM today and I found a loving HELICOPTER in the middle of a gravel road. Of course my phone was dead, so no picture  Nobody was around, and the road was behind a gate. I'm skeptical of poo poo that goes on those woods, so I left without poking around. If only I knew how to fly a chopper, I could have traded up!

Interestingly, their "Self-Identifying as a Lone Biker" assessment includes the following question: 8 Do you prefer to hang around in a group? And you lose a point for saying no. Also, if they ask if you've inhaled or swallowed gasoline, just say yes. Otherwise you have to wait a year before re-taking the exam. http://silentskulls.com/SelfIdentifing.htm

I would ride the hell out of that. Edit: How does that idle? Apparently it didn't "...had no clutch and no transmission. One had to get it moving right away, and keep it moving" http://ijms.nova.edu/July2006/IJMS_Artcl.Giovannelli.html Bondematt fucked around with this message at 01:53 on Jun 12, 2012 |

Boru posted:I feel like a rat bike is one that you slap together and keep running with duct tape and elbow grease. This looks like it took WAAAY too much effort to be considered a "rat." I'd agree but, for all we know, it could be held entirely by spit and prayers underneath all the Mad Max cosmetics and very well fit that definition. But it's a picture I found on the internet, so who the hell knows. And, like a few others said, I'd still ride the poo poo out of it.

Even if you assume that back rest is a fuel tank that's got to have like a 20 mile range at most.

Says at the end of the video that they're trying to secure funding to build the transmission. I guess building a frame and bolting the wheels to the engine is relatively easy compared to building a custom transmission.

Collateral Damage posted:Says at the end of the video that they're trying to secure funding to build the transmission. With the amount of power that makes, I'm guessing they don't need a "transmission" at all. Just take the clutch from a tractor-trailer and attach it to a heavy-duty sprocket and chain with the proper gearing.
