NSR Seen at the mall today...

Post by michelle_7728 »

I'd seen a picture of this somewhere, but was thinking it had been photoshopped. Well, I saw it in person today, so I can say for a fact that it does exist! Now whether it actually works....?

The turning radius must be crazy...and balancing to ride it must be something else. If they came to a stop and the thing tipped over, I'm picturing shattered ankles here... :shock:

The weight of the riders will likely crack or bend the frame in the middle. This thing can only go in a straight line and needs one or 2 more wheels in nthe middle for weight distribution.

Not to mention fireproof boots for the right feet of riders 2 thru 5.

Hard to say about the frame, though, as I have no idea how those super-strech limos stay in one piece.

You'd have thought they'd use the same tank paint and handlebars throughout, though, IMHO, to perfect the look.

Not to ignore the complete ridiculousness of the thing. But I don't think it's a Harley, any of it.

The look of the engines and the drum rear brake suggest Honda, one (ore more) of the Shadows.

Noitice how each segment is different. They all have different handlebars, for example. I guess it's supposed to be for a whole gang.

i hope that the movie he's talking about. :? but not the first one i thought of. :(

aside from being a crazy idea. this thing its quite a feat of engineering and fabrication. wonder if the bikes are linked. prob just for show though.
no i don't ride a scooter, i am a scooter pilot!

Not to argue, but the sequel stole that 'honor'...As a friend scooter rider in Tx put it after he watched the sequel - "Man, that's it - no more weird movies...that was messed up"

Don't bother!
I had such a pretty mind, then.... I saw the second one! I can't even look at sandpaper the same way.
