And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
How do you fasten on your sleeping bag and guitar?
Shouldn't there be a side mount for a shotgun or AR-15, like motorcycle cops have on their bikes? (i.e., Utah, where I live, is a "Constitutional Carry" state.)
Where does the two-way radio go?
Won't it require a sidecar when transporting a passenger?
I just don't see any practical use or economic justification for whatever that thing is.
No real experience either way but this bike drives to one of two things; demonstrates the practicality of chain-drive or the efficiency of shaft-drive.
Judging by the tire, he only uses the center 2 or 3 inches, the sides of the tire look pristine. Not really a bike for carving corners, but it is slow to turn it and sluggish on everything but a straight up drag race. Which is ok, as long as you understand that's all it is.
Also, got the forward controls for the feet, which puts you in the typical Harley reclined posture, but then lowered bars for the hunch over the tank rice rocket posture. Anyone driving this better be young and fit, cause old and fat ain't gonna be comfortable all kinked up like that.
Well, at least it's got a rear shocks system (e.g., Orange County Choppers typically do not . . . ).

All about looks rather than use but looking at the tyre it does actually run.
ReplyDeleteMeh...

ReplyDeleteImagine the strain on that chain trying to get that tire turning, especially on a hill.

If this is yours, better hope that bell bottoms never come back.
ReplyDeleteForm over function. The quintessential "look at me" bike.
