Wow, what a riot! It looks like a cross between the Flintstones, Wild
Wild West (the movie), and Mad Max. I'd like to see a video that shows
some steering.

A 450 pound counterweight? This is an indication that this will not be a
practical vehicle. The other indication is putting the rider in front of
all that weight... :eek:

But it looks like a really cool novelty vehicle!

Well JJuggle still has my thanks for sharing, research or not. I missed
the original thread, and don't tend to go backwards and troll, so this
was cool news to me.

Given the content of the great "'But wait, there's more!'
(http://tinyurl.com/2bmf3)" thread I cannot say that the previous post
was intended to be completely free of irony... :)

Well, I did make the classic error in searching unstructured data. I
searched the forum for "riot" but not reinventing.

Oh well. I will yield my librarian's license to the next peace officer I
encounter.
