I was driving my car to the grocery store today, with the music cranked. I turned on to a busy street and checked my rear view mirror. Wouldn't you know it was vibrating like hell from the music the same way my XB mirrors vibrate. Well I knew exactly what was behind me and how far back they were because I have gotten so use to looking in the vibrating mirrors on the Buell.  | ||

tell me about this thing, wise white shaman, which you call "car"....please tell me of this strange and wonderous machine.... speak to me of mirrors which show an image without vibration, oh worldly one, for i know of only one type... tell me of fantastic machines which roll on more than 2 wheels... machines which don't leave my knees wobbly and my knuckles white after i dismount them...tell me everything, great monkey-man of the west.... | ||

Every now and then a time comes in ones life when things larger than what will fit in a backpack must be transported from one place to another. I have a device which will allow safe transportation across great distances for not only the operator, but four additional people and still have room for important things like parts for the beloved Buell. This device in which I call "car" was created in the far off land of Sweden. Other "cars" are made in other countries as well, even here in the USofA. This car rides as smooth as glass and even has wonderful comfort items such as air conditioning and heated seats. It is a far to comfortable thing to be driven all the time. It has been known to cause drowsiness and even put the passengers to sleep. This car is not for everyone, but from time to time I must force myself to pilot this machine for the interest of my family. How strange of a thing it truly is:  If this car is driven too often, one looses focus on the important things in life such as this:  There is also such a wonderful thing as a racecar that combines some of the features of a regular car, but retains the white knuckle, heart pounding sensations that a Buell provides:  | ||

Me thinks I see a fairly old late model photo. The sanctioning body around here banned that much rear spoiler years ago. Cool pic though. I have a 92 Rayburn leaf car we clipped to create a limited late model. I second the comparision by the way. | ||

Yes I quit racing that car in 1995 when I joined the Navy. It was powered by a Dodge 440 running methanol. We never got it on a dyno but it was estimated to have between 750 and 800 hp. My father has a few pictures of it with both front tires off the ground. This frame was built by one of the local guys back home. It was a copy of a Bullet. | ||

What is a car? | ||

A Car? Take two motorcycles. Only one need to work. Lots of duct tape. tape the two together. Add a blue tarp for all weather protection. Use more duct tape to form a frame for the blue tarp. Keep a squeege handy to wipe rain off plexiglass that you have duct taped to the handle bars. Be creative with Bungee cords and you will have steering from both front wheels. | ||

Light_keeper-I take it you watch the red green show. | ||
| Light_keeper |
Um no. What is the red and green Show? | ||

http://www.redgreen.com/ In its final season. I hope they put all the past seasons on DVD so all can enjoy. This show lasted a lot longer than the Man Show, just that it only really got press in the Northern part of the states. One episode they duct taped two bikes together to make a trailer. Good stuff | ||

And here I thought I had an original idea. I guess there really is nothing new under the sun   | ||

You can watch the Red Green show on some PBS channels, check local listings. | ||

lmao@ monkey god of the far lands...too funny.. i had a guy in a "lowrider" pull next to me at a light awhile back,his stereo was so loud i couldnt hear the 1203cc beast below me. he began to jump his front wheels off the ground and just stared at me. now when the light turned green u shoulda seen his face when i hit the throttle,drowning out his spanish polka,and i showed him what it is really like to put your front wheel in the air..he stopped at the next light rite next to me again. this time windows up,music down,looking away the whole time.Damm i love making a man realize his stereo and paint job dont compair to the greatness of american vtwin power! especially when 3 girls pulled up to my other side and started hooting and hollering at me...lol.. and laughing at him.. it was great. makes me love my buell even more than b4....  |
