before i became a career college student i was a professional bicycle rider 3 AND 10 speed, and before that a professional diaper wearer.

sorry, just a tease.

i do like this guy's acting, now he's cooler in my eyes. yes, good taste.

Jason Lee was a Pro Skater WAAAAY back in the day.  even before Mall Rats!   

I like most of his films, too.  Seems like Kevin Smith can barely stand to make a movie without him  ;D

Some might see some inspiration here, I don't.

I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

i should know this; is that an old y block ford? i'm so embarrassed. but not as much as if i got caught riding that bike.
edit: nope. inner exhaust ports too far apart. but distrib. location and valve cover are similar. any ideas?

i will say this though: what is inspiring is that someone had the gumption to fab the thing! credit due.

below is only inspiring to me. it inspires me to get going on my little honey sitting idle in storage, still.

I don't know, I kind of like it.  It looks like a panther running at full speed.

Though I do love all that apocalyptic mad max type of shiit.
