You'll notice that there's no visible drive mechanism. Thus, there needs to be something to keep it from tipping over, since it's always stationary.

Ah, but the blurry wheels tells me they're spinning. There's probably a traction wheel pressed to the rear tire. But it's not fast enough to not tip over.

If it is an actual, uh, motorcycle, i guess is the closest, the riders weight wouldn't be enough to adequately control it's balance. It looks top heavy as hell to start with and who wants to be around if it does fall over. Safety comes to mind.

Some asshole riding that thing will eventually end up on America's Funniest Videos Hahaha.

I love how the guy riding it has that kid-on-christmas thing going for him. He just looks sooo happy.

You can almost see him thinking: "Wheeee!"

First photo is awesomely redneck.

Second looks photoshopped. Note how the resolution on the bike is worse than the rest of the image.

If it didn't have training wheels, when you stop it would fall over!


That's why there are training wheels.

ETA: Here's the link to the bikes website.

I thought he might need the training wheels to stop doing a wheelie. That would be awesome to see them try. Maybe a good mud run to prove it has some purpose there.

The real question is: Will it out run a cop through mountain curves?

Ok, the suspense is killing me.

Is SA short for South America, South Africa, San Andreas, Savannah or Sweet Agony?

She's a long time friend in Johanesburg, South Africa, Liar. A very kind and gentle woman who has spent the past several years battling a losing war against Leukemia.

 

[Liar]

Thanks. Now I don't have to go insane obsessing.
