Hey guys, im not sure if this is a big 'no-no', but I've have stumbled across something rather impressive. Bad thing is that its at another forum.
A couple of blokes in America have designed and built they're own mountain/motor bike.
Their story is in pictures and its incredible to see them develop the idea, and then finally see a movie of the bike in action.
Well worth a read.

Well, I for One would buy one if I could ride it on the road, maybe as a mini Motard !
Only other bike I can link it to is the Sachs Madas, but I reckon this project build is way sweeter, top thread, hope they make it in the industry.
If only I studied CAD .....
