If you put water on it, it can cause a small explosion.
Some people are like slinky's.  They serve absolutely no purpose, but they always bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

I asked my teacher if I could do it at his shop if I got a class D extingushier.  He said his insurance wouldnt cover his shop if he knowingly machined it. But he also said yes.

Ha ha I'm at the georgia Vanderbilt game and georgia is winning 43 to 0 and I'm bored. The pinch bolts will go on the front center. You can see the bump where the allen heads will protrude.

I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...
