If you don't love what you're doing, then don't do it.
Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.

That bike is awesome. It looks like a mini chopper though. I am gonna look for a pic I seen in easyrider of a chopper that was like a woman bent over for a gas tank. It was awesome. O0

I would love to see it coming up behind me some night with the lights shining out of his eyes. 
Was noticing that the exhaust comes out in front of the rider, hopefully he has some good earplugs.

Mini?  That looks like a standard car tire on back.

Hell, I would like to ride it just once.  :)

I rode behind a guy recently who had a standard car tire on his backend...it was very strange watching him take turns and go up on the edge of that tire.  Not my style personally.  Not sure as to the benefit of it.

30K miles, better wet traction
why change your rear tire every 5-10k miles and pay almost $200 plus mounting for a new one when you can by 1 car tire around $80 plus mounting

CT - ~$100 for 30K miles
MT ~$660 for 30K miles

going that way myself soon have a little rear tred left to burn off on the MT should take another week of easy driving or 4 hours of balls to the wall

Ayup.  That's a big ol'

for me.  CT is my future.

Btw...  it's demonstrable that a CT has more rubber on the road in a turn, not less.
