I completely agree Rufus those damn radial arm saws are killers. My shop one when I was teaching, had no brake and a massive blade, had to be almost 18" across and would cut so hard and fast I used to be terrified it would smash through the stops.

I used it twice and had it disconnected. Even with all the emergency stop buttons around the shop there was just a chance that some dimwit might manage to start it up while my back was turned. Wicked piece of machinery.

Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.

Motorcycles as art have their place but not in my garage.

That rake plus leading link forks will make it a horror to ride in town or to turn at any speed below about 30. Not to mention the bars are too short to give any useful leverage.

Also nowhere for a babe to perch, a bachelors bike but it's sure pretty to look at, right enough!

I'll pass.

Nice concept, great graphics.

Agree with bikermike, a fun boulevard cruiser or bar hopper, but it wouldn't be my daily ride. Too tough to maneuver in an emergency situation. I have kids to support.

First thing I'd do is swap out the seat. Wouldn't feel right sitting my *** on an American flag.

Oh, you're probably right, but an old man can still allow himself to be smitten from time to time...

I actually have no business getting on a bike again. Last one I had stopped scaring me, so I got off and stayed off before I killed myself.

Still, I'd buy a ticket to support the boys; Mississippi or Massachusetts makes no difference once the gear goes on.

The same as beer or women, bikes are subjective as well. What a dreary world it would be if everyone drove a Yugo.
