  • beastly

  • That's wicked. Love the shredded gaffer bars.

    Two things that are niggling at me though:

    1) Lockup method is total bobbins. Must secure the rat!
    2) Left mounted front brake lever. Y'wot?

  • Do Americans put their brakes that way round?

  • Not all, but yes. Like the europeans - makes more sense when on the road.

  • Ah! Gotcha! Just noticed number plate as well.
    Or should that be licence plate?

  • that abused langster looks so nice

  • saddle angle > ftw

    Could you explain why? I know, riding on the right side of the road, etc. but what does it change? Plus someone explained me that usually brake on motorbike is on the right and clutch on the left? (not sure bout that though).

    my young years in Belgium reminds me that I had my rear brake lever on the right, but I also remember that I was advised to use more the rear brake than the front, which is a total popular misconception.

    On the image, maybe the dude is just left-handed.

  • Making his way through Oxford St. way easier.

  • slack chainsaw.

  • If I'm correct, when the chainsaw is under load, that bike becomes front wheel drive. Dangerous much?

  • I don't think health and safety was top of the priority list when they banged this little beauty out somehow.

    In the UK (and other countries who drive on the left) we do all indicating with our left arm. As the front brake does most of the stopping its important to have this brake covered (or accessible) at all times. Hence its on the right as the right hand should, in theory, never leave the bars.

    Vice versa for the right hand side driver.

    Some ppl prefer it the other way but new bikes must be sold with right hand front brake (some UK law or something - also covers bells and reflectors).

    yeah i'm sure the front wheel drive aspect of a folding bike powered by a front mounted chainsaw is what very one should be worrying about

  • want!!

    Quite right, I meant MOST of our indicating (left turns and slowing down to stop - which nobody does but I learnt it on Cycling efficiency)

    Tell a lie its with the right arm (according to that link you posted). Weird. I thought it was left. Oh well.

    Fuck knows then.

    Weird tallsam because you are about 3 years old and do not know your left from right.

    Love the Chainsaw
