    What was this guy thinking?

    I'm for whatever mods one wants to make to his/her bike, but this is a little outrageous...

    Outrageous XS11 MOD VID

    I'm not too upset over this, but think of what one could do to one's reproductive organs next to that HOT engine. I'm curious as to what some of you think, especially trbig and his comments that make me laugh every time.

                  Ya know... w/o an airbox or pod filters... I guess his body's the air filter??

                  Wonder how in the world he ever got the carbs adjusted well enough to run like that?

                  I've also heard of bobbers being kidney buster's... but NO PADDING on the seat pan?

                  If the guy had cohonies before he got on that, he probably didn't afterwards...

                  Looks like some pretty nice work for "average fellas"... I dig the wheels and tires they adapted to the 11 final drive setup...

                      Yep, that's been posted before. The bike was built in Germany, IIRC. It's a basic stock engine as far as I know, just no weight on the bike!

                                  ...Sorry. I hadn't seen it and went on a youtube trip. I started out looking at excavators, lol. I ended at lawn mower derbies. I always take those trips. Sorry for filling up space though guys. I didn't know.

                                      No big deal... I'm sure it will make another appearance at some point.

                                      Lawnmower races, huh? I was at a class last year when a guy was saying he did that. Apparently state champion several times... I looked at him tongue in cheek and said, "There aren't any rednecks at those races are there?" He thought for a minute seriously and said, "Yeah, I've seen a couple here and there.."

                                      Pretty hard not to laugh...

                                          Hahaha!!!!!... NO... DERBY. They take lawn mowers and do the same as a vehicle demolition derby. Not lawnmower racing, that actually looks a little intersting due to some mechanical and driver skill involved (low levels of each, lol) and a track.
                                          I had never heard of such a thing until a cousin of mine came over for a chat about bikes and ended up telling me, through the gap between his top canines as they were GONE, he was taking part in heading up the lawnmower derby next year at our county fair As if combine derbies weren't hick enough or something. There's youtube videos for 'em and everything. Needless to say I find it very unclimactic, lol. What's the world coming to? lol
