Chainsaw motor
« on: July 14, 2012, 06:57:57 AM »
I'm walking across the plaza in Brownsville, Tx. and come across this.


I'd seen the guy riding down the street earlier.
One of the local bench dwellers saw me taking this picture and said the guy had ridden this across the US.
I'll be here for a couple months, I'll try to get his story.

Clever. I wonder what it sounds like?  ::) Most chainsaws aren't exactly ear-friendly.

Wild.  Guessing you are working down there?  You're missing all the rain here, five days in a row, including today.

Bike was a good ride though the headwinds dropped my miles to tank to about 80.
