Okay, must just be a troll.

I am just glad someone has used things in the past for other than what they were meant for .I had a tire swing when I was a kid and if someone hadn't thought to hang a motor on a bicycle we would all be pedaling

+1 on that. I once took an old Suzuki GS750 frame (minus engine) and built a swing with it for my boys. Attached both end to a tree branch, bolted the bodywork, seat, triple trees, handlebars and pegs onto the frame and they could pretend to be riding.

Speaking of which, now that I have a grandson on the way, I'm gonna have to start looking for a donor bike to do the same for him.

Wow. I was beginning to think that I was the only one who realized that he was joking...

Had a good laugh or three, too!
