    How a bike can move around!

    For the old timers: You might remember a really radical XS11 build here by member xschop. He was the pioneer of the chain drive for the XS. Well, his bike has surfaces at dotheton.com with a new owner who is heavily reworking it again. Might want to check it out!

    Kinda funny what a small world it is!
    Healthy is merely the slowest rate at which you can die

    Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better. I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba….Hunter S. Thompson

        Briefly reading through it, I see that he is already having to replace a bearing in Chop's chain drive box. Doesn't seem like that lasted very long... That is certainly a lot of mods to one bike
