LMAO & Havoc..

 .. Would not hurt to try to get along with the dad tho..

hehe totally true. He was a ducati nut and actually worked for ricky racer and russ collins. knew more and forgotten more about bikes than i'll ever learn. she was hot too. but she turned into a psycho when she found out how much her father and i had in common.

So she brought some random guy home 2 days after we broke up and announced that they were getting married.

I got the last laugh though. Turns out she was pregnant. Her parents are hardcore serious christian and completely disowned her for having unmarried sex.

So I got all of his tools when they moved, hahahahahahahha.

I built a 650 tracker for him using his tools and him standing over my shoulder the whole time. I had more fun that I ever had up to that point. In return for my services he decided that I earned the use of his tools. Best christmas ever. 3 days later she told them she was preggo.  :D

When we were together we weren't even allowed to sit next to each other in their home. Let alone find a place to get it on. She was like 2 completely different people. Thinking back I was stupid for being with her but it was funny to watch.  ;D

the interesting thing is bikes with lil motors are hot now; wouldn't be really nifty if honda made a realistic replica of this first 'bike' to capitalize on the retro impulse?

i'd bet they'd sell boat loads of 'em.


sorry about that.

thing is there is a company making replicas of 1920's era harleys with that band drive thingy (tech talk), so it's not all too far fetched. but even if it were a cosmetic replica, can ya imagine walking into a honda dealer to buy your hybrid and seeing one of these in the show room, or looking for a small scoot at a powersports (duuumb name) store and putting out on one of these? what a great way to celebrate honda's heritage- and be greenie.

 naw, i write my ransom notes like that. too lazy to cut up magazines.

the gas powered bicycles i've seen were 4 strokes. but i wanna a (poorly tuned) 2 stroke to ride through my high and mighty college town like a millionaire in his duesenberg past a 1930's breadline. i thrive on public disdain.

i swear i'm not posting this first one because i think it's beautiful, or because i want to build one. i just think the guy showed an individualism and gumption to do it. i read he undertook the project after a family tragedy as a sort of therapy.

the second one i think is a unique take on a custom honda build.
