Rep Power: 24 | | | New 2006 Thunder Mountain Choppers, 300 Rear Tire...
For 2006, Thunder Mountain has made some very good changes. First off, they changed the drive from left side to right side, which took care of their balance issues. The bike is lighter and very well balanced now. Second, moving the drive from the left side to the right enabled them to use the LARGEST tire made for a motorcycle. The new 300!!! MASSIVE rubber, take a look...

I'd build my own before I'd drop that kind of cash on one, and it would be exactly the way I wanted.

Rep Power: 3 | | | Hell no! Did you read the specs on it? Its a fuck'n scooter!
Damn thing looks like it was built for Mini-Me. :rotflmao:
Still, it would be funny to pull up on one of those at a bike night or something and act the part of Mr. Hardcore Biker Tough Guy, or parody the Weekend Warrior Yuppie who thinks having a bike makes him a badass.
Though it would be a pretty expensive gag... might be worth the laugh if you had the cash though. |
