This makes me happy. This wasn't a little project either, I mean its pretty epic, getting the throttle routed, locking the steering, new gas tank, brakes...

Well, they've got the GNX, at least...
@900pilot: WARF!
This is pretty funny, I hi fived a a few people hailing cabs while riding my bike around NYC a few years ago. I can tell you that its a lot of fun to do, I feel a little cheated, maybe I shoulda made a video.
@BigHarv: Me too. Though, at least you can say "I told you so" when you do.
@mytdawg: Are those tires off a steam roller?!?
@pj134: Glad someone other than me thinks I look good in spandex.
@cyanics: Damn man, how'd you perform a fluid dynamics analysis of the exhaust gasses from that cell phone photo?
So. Much. Awesome.
@lostarchitect: All funny. Its tangential to 911, think of it as a clever juxtaposition.
@PowerTryp forever Minardi: Pretty sure I know exactly how hard it is... er was.
@wojo-the newly visible man-ardi: awesome comment, great job!: The warm winter food was but a pipe dream.
@TurboRefrigerator: OOooo, that looks purty!
@ChiTownBuff: Come winter in Chicago those rims and low profile tires are cooked! COOKED I TELL YOU!
@bobsyouruncle: I think he was referring to the fact that pedestrian traffic, especially if they are marching in time, can bring down a bridge at the right frequency. Though, that caption could have been better written, maybe linking to that episode of Mythbusters woulda been a little more on point...
@B1663R: SHIFT_sexes
@nexusheli: <—- Photoshopped.
I... like... this?
@engineerd is back in the D...for now: They should paste that into an "About" section for Jalopnik.
@Saboth: Apples to oranges. A bike gives you a different kind of rush, and nearly always requires greater skill to bring to 9/10ths than a car. 10/10ths in either is something that requires training. Maybe its the ability to practice in a car, you can go to a parking lot and do donuts to learn. You can lose control…
