Now that looks like fun! Stupid as hell but fun. Riding off the cliff in the dunes, not so much. My luck I'd end up in a rattlesnake pit.

I had a VW trike in HS.
Used to take friends for wheelie rides.
Cornered like a witch though.
The fenders started to fall off.
So I took a hacksaw and cut them off.
Took it to Las Vegas during a rain storm.
A Nevada police man was very unhappy with my Cali fenderless trike.
Huh....this appears to be a bit different than the trike I used to ride back in the day. It was an Indian.

old old fokker, consiering Indian went bankrupt in 1953. Polaris is todaya trying to bring um back to life but in essense it is a Polaris, not realy the orignal Indian, utter than name. I wish them luck though. Considering they sent a j100 million to ring Indian back to life. a long time payback for sure..

Many many many years ago I let a friend tow me behind a moped while I rode a skateboard (standing up by the way.) He started down a hill WIDE OPEN with me in tow and I bet we were going 30 miles an hour. The board started vibrating like a tire out of balance and I thought I was going to die that day. Made it to the bottom of the hill without crashing though.
I did not do it again.

LOL, it looks like tuba playing (the next video) is more dangerous!
Thanks for the chuckle:)

It's starting to feel like the desert down this way is just one big rattler pit this year. We've come across a couple in just the last two days:eek:

In wheelchair parlance we refer to that as the shopping cart death wobble. Down right skeery too.
You let me down Greg, I was expecting a hail of gun fire in the video, I was waiting on baited breath for the reptiles demise.

Me too.
I thought we had some standards around here?

Yeppers...as young kid I used to wander into and poke around the Indian dealership. I think that place hung around as a dealer for a short bit after the mfg went under, selling left over stock. Then existed as a repair shop for some time before closing.

If that question was in reference to my story, I had no brains then but all the other brainless wonders thought I was something. I won't claim that I have very much for brains now so as not to disappoint anyone but I do learn from mistakes. That ability came from lots of whippings when I was young and I deserved most of them.
