    Hey where's his helmet?!?!

    That's awesome, I wonder how it'll be to ride...
    Motorcycling is like life - it's about the journey, not the destination.

    Safety in USA is personal responsiblity not some dumb politican holding your hand telling you what to do.(when to wipe your arse)

    NZ does not allow you to use your own bloody brain, big brother will do all your thinking for you.

    The dumb arses you read about in your daily papers is the result.

    Lucky old us! John. ( Rant over)

    In the back of the latest Bike Rider mag is a chap with a hubless chopper. Mentions the use of an enormous helicopter bearing. A nylon wheel is driven by the motor and pressed against the wheel. Same wheel used for the braking.

    Not my cup of tea as bike to ride but one that you can obviously appreciate for the engineering and hours that have gone to create it.
    Its not the destination that is important its the journey.

    in related news, in the latest cycle World there is a custom 'Busa with clear plastic wheels.

    http://www.cycleworld.com/article.as...article_id=716

    the clear wheels came from http://www.metalsportwheels.com/

    and are (get this) $12 000 USD a pair.

    seems sensible.

    Would this make the centre of gravity shitloads lower?
    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    Not sure, but I think it might allow stops from 60kph in 1.5 metres.
