WANT TOY

Hey, it'd be perfect for zipping down to school and back, right?

. . .

*sigh*

or to do donuts on!

What a shame you can't just take a dirt-bike, hang lights and a speedo and a horn on it, and register it any more. :-/

actually, in NH, you can. a horn is a $3 airhorn zipped tied on. i THINK lights aren't even required. hahahah :)

the madass, yes, instant lust when i saw one last year. they sell them locally :) it rides and fits like a chunky motard mountain bike. it rocks. according to some on NEDOD, it uses a clone of a common honda motor, which has hop up kits for :)

Fucking sweet! I'd ride it.

There would be nothing at all wrong with buying that bike. It's just practical.

The only problem is I'm guessing it's a bit taller than I'd like (since the Mad Ass 50 was already on the tall side). Otherwise it is made completely of awesome.

Hell, you could likely adjust spring preload in the rear, and sink it down a bit, and if not, that monocoque frame looks easy enough to alter. . . . okay, I'll stop now :-)

I can't say anything since despite not having a motorcycle license (nor a useful sense of balance), I want a Ural Retro.

We're also conveniently ignoring the fact it'd cost more than I've ever spent on a car, is a russian made copy of a 1930s BMW, and can't sustain highway speeds.

Welding isn't hard to do at all-- even if it's aluminum. That seat can certainly come down a solid inch.
Oh wait-- you didn't need me to say that, did you?
