Holy crappola!

What to do if you have time, money and no sense at all...

What a lifesaver, i'd always wondered how many chainsaws you'd need to make a bike with less HP than a zx10r...

Must be good for logging gangs tho? Chuck a crew on the back, get to the spot, disconnect and reassemble a chainsaw, fell some trees, reverse the process, beer time....

Hmmmmm, you said beer. I mean, hmm beer.

Ride on, I guess it would be a bit of a pain, pulling up to the gas station to fill up too. :Punk:

Criminy! Holy Deja Vu, Batman!

Peoples keep posting threads we've already had. Or had already.

It's messing with my messy brain, and making me think it's Groundhog Day again.
Better rush downstairs to make sure the LuxoSport 2K1 hasn't devolved back into the FahrtSturm....:eek5:

Brings a whole knew meaning to the definition of a chopper - could put the former chopper on the ropes!
