with a small seat to straddle (like a horse), with little bike handles protruding discretely to hang onto/steer with? In other words, sit on it, not in it?
Drewfus, I already PM'd him the saddle idea,
So more like this G  |

I reckon handlebars can be pretty cool. Think Ed Daddy Roth Gearstick clutches crossed with extreme chopper and (as Roxette would say) you've got the look...

If in doubt, it probably IS a mistake.

First bike I've ever seen where you need to worry about scraping your knuckles on the roof of a parking ramp.
That'll suntan your armpits.

I reckon they built that up from a scale model, they just miscalculated by a factor ... First bike I've ever seen where you need to worry about scraping your knuckles on the roof of a parking ramp.
I'm pretty sure that guy would have some serious callouses on the back of his knuckles, actually I reckon he'd have pretty serious callouses on BOTH sides of his knuckles...... |

Dr. G; "I reckon they built that up from a scale model, they just miscalculated by a factor ..." That isn't an unthinkable mistake. Where I worked years ago (the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, WV), one of our European scientists made a drawing of a small thing he wanted built and sent it to the machine shop. Unfortunately he had scaled it in millimeters and the shop built it in inches. Since he had not shown his scale in "mm" it was a natural error.  Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ |

I see where this is headed -
"I think that the problem may have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf."
- "This is Spinal Tap"

Apparently that Mars lander thingy that hit the Mars surface very hard and was obliterated a few years back was an empirical misunderstanding between the UK scientists and NASA as well.
and
"This is Spinal Tap"
You forgot the umlaut on the letter n.

I keep coming back for some build diary, but am pleasantly surprised by humor. Hey Troy, There is some stuff going on in the shed...in fact the job I have on has similarities to the sleeve removal job I saw you guys doing a little while back.....I just made a 4ft long puller with a 3/4 inch thread on each end to get started on the differential housing transplant job............brutal and boring. When you're getting annoyed at some guy standing around your pit at the salt making smart-asz remarks when you're trying to do something difficult come over and shake my hand I'm looking forward to meeting you guys.I'm hoping to see you do that BIG number when I'm there |
