    They most certainly would be classified as a moron when recovering from 3rd degree burns in the intensive care unit of the hospital burns ward.

    I'm also not convinced that Fabian2 is based in Oz.
    His Posts seem to coincide with GMT, not Sydney, although it's 08h30 odd there right now

    Well, if i am not based in OZ, that sure is helpful in getting that pesky NSW legislator off my back ;-)

    One thing is for sure,

    Australia has the longest freight trains; the longest road trains and the longest bicycle trailer train, and damn it, no one else builds them big like in Australia.

    I don't think they're based in Kansas anymore though.

    Just read through this, I think that I much preferred the time travelling delorien invention to a fat slow bike that will break my legs

    other than that this thread has given me brain aids

    It most certainly is a very good thread, especially when i am the driver of such dynamic social discourse.
    Where would this thread be without my purposeful comment - be back in the provincial locality of "boring"

    I'm late on this thread (very) but good lord, that is the ugliest motorcycle I have ever seen! :shock:
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    shhhhhhhh dont say that.....
    its not a motorcycle, it is an assisted, non-assisted motorised bicyle that is used by magical spaz wangles to navigate cheesewand city delivering limes!

    it is not a motorcycle as that contrevenes article 8.0.0.8.1.3.5.5. of section 947 of cheeswand transportation code book and is there for "not illegal" which isnt the same as being legal but also is the same as being legal you see.

    As I said...poor people here do that and it generally looks better than this.


    This thread is tremendous though. A troll who has put a good bit of effort into it...a lesson to all

    To the crazy bloke with the pointless bike,

    Have the green party also caused Australia to change their mental healthcare policies? Because you clearly belong in a straight jacket and padded cell.

    Having said that I've very much enjoyed reading this thread :lol:

    Well, well,

    Seems people have been on a vitriolic campaign whilst i've been getting my beauty sleep.
    The human character can be likened to a rewritable CD: with some basic reprogramming, a pleasant self-booting personality can be installed.

    Re Spongtastic

    Please feel free to purchase a motorised bicycle kit, but my words of advise would be to exercise caution and "do your research".
    Reckless use of such kits only serve to clean up the gene pool.
    The most important criteria for safe operation is disk brakes (BB7 calipers and 9" front and 6" rear rotor) being the safest off the shelf option for specific reasons.

    I say again - reckless use of such motorised kits will be to the detriment of the operator.
    Also to be noted: the design of such kits, which does not lend itself well to heavy haulage operation as there is no method to select low range crawler gears.

    An engineering background will be of great use when redesigning and assembling these kits, as well as having a fully kitted out machine shop with a 5 axis CNC mill and TIG welding equipment.

    Great results can be achieved with intensive and time consuming effort.

    Hero,,, no, i am not a hero, though i'm more happy being given the title of "fractional genius":

    Of my own heavily biased opinion, i have 1/5th of Kelly Johnson's ingenuity, 1/10th of Kelly Johnson's inspired creativity, 1/20th of Kelly Johnson's intellectual fortitude and 10 squared % of Kelly Johnson's "make it happen" attitude.

    I'm happy with being nothing more than a low fractional human being, referenced against a complete genius :lol:

    Oooooh, rest assure, NOBODY here is going to call you a genius, on any scale, no matter how fractional.
    Hero yes, Genius, HELL NO!

    In fact, the reason you're hailed a hero is because you're the opposite of a genius.
  • Fabian2
    Fabian2 Posts: 113
    Lets work on this idea and i am sure you will want to play this to it's fullest.

    If i am the opposite of a genius, and i am only a small fraction of a genius, then i'm going to sit somewhere on the positive side of hero, quite possibly well forward of hero on the aptitude and intelligence scale.

    Kind of a glass half full- glass half empty scenario
    Either i'm hero who fails to accept such responsibility or i'm a genius who fails to radiate brilliance.

    I just keep getting this feeling, doesn't go away - why do i get the feeling there are closet sympathisers around here "and you know who you are" :wink:
