Don't even think about it, mister. I am all for fast and furious but this would not be smart.

Haha! I really wasn't that interested... If it was factory built maybe... But it has the feeling of welded together by some rednecks... I bet the only turn it will do is to turn over!

Sucks that I am on the forum, huh, Sidney.

Joking aside, Sidney makes the right decisions in the end. I trust him. He doesn't have to ask me anything. He may want to hear my opinion but like I said, I know he has good reason for making the decisions that he does.

That being said, just find a safer one or a manufactured one, then buy that one.

Yea, Sid needs MORE toys. We all do!

Let's see he has a Porsche, Wave Runner or Jet Ski, motorcycle, remote controlled RC car, lots of guns and a dad that has plenty of toys as well.

Dang Sid, you are doing good.

Just remember my Mantra: You are NEVER too old to have a happy childhood.

We all grow older, but we don't have to grow up!

Evening Y'all.
Glen I have you beat in the no electronic stuff, Peggy sports the aerobics package as well aka manual windows. The steering wheel if fixed, there is no ac and the floor vents (I love those) I actually have to bend down to slide them open. I love it.
Sid, as fro rednecks welding, we aren't all bed. I welded my old Nissan rust box truck frame back together when the son broke it, and it stayed together when he later flipped the truck. I can weld better than a sixteen year old wild boy and destroy.

Oh its not the strength of the welds rick... Its the engineering and physics around the suspension setup that worries me.

But she didn't say I couldn't build my own... Just need to find a wrecked crotch rocket! Anybody know of wrecked desmosedici? And then I'd just have to get max or schumi to do some designing.

And so it begins. Welcome to the real world. I will have time when I retire. Which will be many moons before you, Sidney.
