QuoteThe bike appeared to leak antifreeze, which was quickly mopped up

Didn't anyone tell him he's supposed to run Water Wetter? Sheesh.

Somehow I don't think that thing's ever going near a track. Except maybe a dirt track...in which case it wouldn't matter.

I think it'd look better if it had tits and was on fire.

Ahem.


Sorry, I was channeling my inner redneck for a second there.

With the training wheels off I think I could get a knee down on that thing.  [cheeky]

there was a diff one at an Int'l show I went to that was awesome, even in the yellow color it had. Of course I can't find my pics of it....   :'(

I like the last paragraph:

Howell's show is set to premiere on Aug. 22. It will feature oddities such as eating contests and jet-powered outhouses.

What could possibly be cooler than a jet-powered outhouse?  [roll]

I also noticed from that last video that the "bike" gets several feet of its height from the handlebars, which are not used for anything except to make it taller.

I need a bigger rolling-eyes smiley for this.  [roll] (http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/scottrnelson/SM/wtf.gif) (http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/scottrnelson/SM/yikes.gif) (http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/scottrnelson/SM/toothless.gif) (http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/scottrnelson/SM/pig.gif)
