Artful, but looks very uncomfortable. And no windshield?

Look like mini bikes. I agree with Bill, how would you get your feet on the pegs? They are air-cooled though.?ÿ

@bill93

Windshields are for scooters and mopeds. Real bikers have no problem eating bugs. ????

I've had about 50 people send me the pic of this thing but it's cool to see all the work.  I knew it had to be a right and left fender mashed together to look like that.

@andy-j  I have wanted to get out the cutting torch and mig ever since I saw these things a year or so ago.  I already have a pit bike that I made into electric, so, I need another pit bike like a hole in the head (usually doesn't stop me)

@andy-j?ÿ More of a "Colin Furze" fan myself, although if I am in a certain mood I find "Uncle Rob" entertaining.

OT / Some Uncle Rob

I don't know what he's using to create the explosions, but most of them wouldn't happen without something like a small pyrotechnic to disperse the gasoline into a cloud of droplets. Only a vapor-air mixture is explosive and all that liquid would just burn.?ÿ I've lit enough fires with gasoline to know what to expect.

@flga  I have to say the lesson on how to make a cheap flame thrower was clear and concise, .... now if I only had some weeds.

@bill93  You are correct of course, but, I just like to watch the silliness every once in a while.  I have made this laser gun (from the video game Halo) and I am stuck re-writing the code for the potentiometers that I am using vs what he designed for (he never specifies.)  All mine does currently is a purple light you can't look at, so, I need to get in there and experiment and get the juice turned up.  Just imagine Uncle Rob with it, LOL
