Scary enough with 4 cylinders, no need for 2 more plus it would be uber wide. And that thing has to be made for midgets, looks like there is about 12" tops of leg room.Originally Posted by SP1966

I loved my big wheel. Spent hours trying to do doughnuts. Would fly down a hill and pull the handle. A lot of scraped hands, and a few stitches but it was all worth it

There will come a day when I tire of listening to 80's music. That day is not today.

In a downpour it wouldn't matter you get soaked no matter what. That being said I ran my HD without a front fender for a yr and it sucked in the least little bit of rain.Originally Posted by IronCharles

I remember watching that show when he built it. It was a fun toy from what it looked like. He made some nice bikes too.Originally Posted by Corbi
