You would have plenty of time to sit and look at it since you would be filling that big a@@ tank every fifty miles.

Yes. How do they go around corners?

With that flat back tire, probably pretty badly...

Looks like it would do a 1/4 mile well though.
Definately your grocery getter there.

What's the fascination with JD tractors?

 I'd say I've seen at least a dozen with a john deere them.

and they've all been big and ugly.

What's up with those seriously under-sized headlights, and what's in the box they're mounted on?  Lunch?

Maybe I'll turn the 350 I'll be working on this summer into a Toro based build as a juxtaposition.  It'll be lean, fast, and much less offensive to the eyes.  Go for the naked SOHC look.  Red frame, blacked-out engine, and tires that actually function.  What da ya think?  I'd probably get run over by some clown with the JD fetish.

All the pics of the bike are of it stationary. ::)
You suppose there is a good reason for that?
