Well project "crazy monster" has begun. I rode her around for a couple days just to learn what these bikes are all about. I must say they are comfortable and loud, pretty cool, but man what a boat anchor!!! My GT550 would smoke this thing. And stopping, forget it, the brakes are real bad. One plus is that it has a ton of torque on the low end, then................nothing happens!!!

So I started the tear down tonight. I dont know what the hell I am thinkin. It will be a miracle if this plan actually comes together. If I do actually pull this off I think this bike will be real unique. I will just take my time and I guess any problem can worked out, I guess!!!!




Alot more **** is gonna fall off this thing, and lot more **** will be added, but it will be bad *** in the end!!! Stay tuned.
