I actually did that on a bicycle... but I was being stupid and cut one set of forks and pushed another set into them to make a crazy chopper front end. it was all gravy... until I popped a wheelie, like a dumb-***. I'll never forget watching that front wheel take off in front of me and holding that wheelie for as long as I could before I went heels over ***.

I bet you ran mini -bikes with a centrifugal clutch, that was my next step from chopper bikes...

Being maimed and and not getting killed. I am worth more to the wife dead that I am alive and I do not want to be a burden to her.

Second scariest would be riding with a boner and having to slam on the brakes.

Oh hell yea. Briggs & Stratton, all the way baby. I was fortunate enough to get my first Suzuki DS 80 for my 8th Christmas though. I tore the yard to pieces figuring out my first clutch.

My biggest fear? Causing so much torment to my neighbors that they someday kill themselves. Still not going to stop me from riding loud and proud though.
