upflying Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Behold the safe motorcycle. This bike speaks volumes for the relationship of the rider and passenger..even though no words were spoken. The bike was actually made unsafe due to the modifications. Link to comment
upflying Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Share 'em. Here's mine: Pretty poor photoshop with the added sparks. Rotation of the wheel would mean the sparks would shower forward and down..if there was such a thing as a ferrous metal tire. Tire smoke from a rub would have been more believable. Link to comment

Look at the incline. That bike HAS to be rolling downhill backwards with THAT thing on the back. 2. Probably wore down to the metal cords in no time. Link to comment

moshe_levy Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 No photoshop, just a normal day on a street in Vietnam. Note the facemask on the rear passenger. Got to stay safe from those airborne germs! A trillion people on a moped, however, passes the safety threshold test... -MKL Link to comment

Joel Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Longest tassels I've seen on a bike. Dude will have to stay out of Wyoming: On US 14 outside Sundance. Close enough to Sturgis to be pertinent. Link to comment

W. Mazelin Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Reckon he passed his m/c license test on that? He may be on his way to take the test - look at the sign in the background MS DOT District Office next exit. Not having been to MS, not sure if it's the same thing as a DMV office . . .

What you can't see is I've got an IR thermometer in my hand and I'm checking the temperature of the right side of the front tire to make sure it is up to temp. Link to comment

But then shouldn't he have some sort of way of returning fire? I don't think an IR thermometer is going to have much effect on the enemy combatants. Link to comment

There's a machine gun mounted on the right side of the bike, timed to fire between the spokes of the front wheel. Link to comment

If he stands on the seat he will be in comliance with the law! I've seen that photo 100 times but aI've only just noticed that there's apparently a master cylinder and reservoir for a front brake up there on that handlebar, though no way to actually use it, I would think. I always just assumed it was a foot clutch, suicide shift, no front brake chopper, but it's not. Link to comment

Some clever manipulation could be leading us to believe the bars are more radical than they seem. Just from an engineering perspective, the bars don't seem thick or strong enough to prevent flexing and breaking away at the triple clamp. Link to comment
Redbrick Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 You wouldn't believe how hot it got out there...... This one's un-retouched I believe..... And, by the way, watch it when you take off with the boulder under your rear tire.....OUCHIE......... Link to comment

Joe Frickin' Friday Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Great pics so far. Several years ago someone here posted a pic of a guy on a motorcycle literally deploying a boat anchor on a chain - it was the old braking metaphor, come to life. Who's got that pic? That deserves to be a part of this thread. Link to comment
