Anybody watch the OCC show when they built the Intel Bike? They spent all kinds of time making the bike "smart" and able to run on computers,,,but they still put carbs on it??? I dont know,,,I just thought that was kinda funny. Guess they dont do anything with EFI.
The rest of the bike was pretty crazy though, V4 engine, 240 front tire. The thing looked like a tank on 2 wheels.
Not because "i think they suck" or anything like that, but I haven't really watched American Chopper much over the past couple seasons. I was channel surfing last week and ended up watching part I. I have part II on Tivo, but havn't watched it yet.

[sm=trust_me.gif]Sooner or later it'll lock up on em while their driving down the road.
bike was ok, not too impressive. wonder how that 240 front handles?
what was more interesting to me was they almost fired mikey. he's cool cause he's different, but a total slacker. he might need meds?
Looked more likethe bike was builtas a trade-in-kindasIntel was rigging the retail store with smart survailence equipmentto practice for the new facility.
Looking at that bike, I'd say OCC got the better end of the trade.
