Absolutely! That thing is fuckin tidy!

[Weaselman]

Id need an open face lid though so i can make engine noises without filling my full face with dribble

[Jockney Rebel]

..footie cards inthe back wheel lol

[Weaselman]

LOL!

[Jup]

Surely this could be hooked up to it: http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2009/11/with-soundracer-your-kia-can-fake-it-with-the-best-of-them/

[wackyrider]

LOL Jup

[uncle pervy]

ok so what mods do you think we could possibly do or it needs

[latheboy]

The first mod i would do is get the swing arm to work, as it is it wont move up and down like....
Then id put 4 electric superchargers on it:D they are for electric motors you know;).
Rattle can black the whole thing with runs all over it.

latehboy, the swingarm does pivot.. the motor case is a 2 part sleeve..

[fimpBIKES]

no i wouldnt ride it, cos that framing around the tank would hurt like fuck under brakes :(

[Azrael]

At least when you do the runner from the cops they wont hear your pipes screaming blocks away..

[thejester650]

don't like the idea of the footpegs going up with the rear swinger when you hit a bump. that frame looks painful in the groinal department as fimp said....... nah wouldn't ride it!

How do you know that, is it your design???

If it is as you say id like to see the parts involved, it looks like a weak point in the design....

[Ross_247]

Nah not my design. I agree it's -definitely- a weak point and overly-complicated part in the design, and a stupid way to do it, but in theory it'd work, if you had the money/effort to build the dual sliding cylinders of the motor casing into a stress point. In reality I think it'd be a bad way to go about it though.. as it'd be near-on impossible to build something as thing as the pics, that could still take the sort've abuse a swingarm pivot point takes on a road bike.

[Magpain]

I'd ride a push bike if it looked like that.

[Sparkie]

I'd give it a crack but definitely do some adjustments for groinal safety as others have said

[Jup]

So softcocks won't ride this bike? I'll take 2!

[Issues]

could be done better and lighter, but not as gay as the others so far.
