hey you guys need to stop posting top speed runs.. it's getting to me :D

and if you look close at about 20 seconds you can see a deer jump into the bushes (exit left)
gotta love the sideways action on a bike ;D

Re: got a new camera, ride with me

here is another video, I was on my way to the shop and saw Jim at the gas pump, I had to slam on the brakes to pull in and get a video of his hotrod.... would you believe that ol man driving around in that "rat rod" with a wooden box for a seat, lol! it takes about 3 minutes to get there so it's pretty boring for the 1st three minutes but you can get an idea of the rods around here.

I say good for him!

Nice scooter, does that have an extended swing arm?....maybe its the angle of the pic

Re: got a new camera, ride with me

Not much for creature comforts in his hot rod eh ?

[joe_rocket45]

Re: got a new camera, ride with me

yes, extended swing arm and yes, good for him! he's 72 or 73 years young and pulls those out of the field or ditch or barn or whatever and builds them from the ground up. he made the truck lid for that car and when done (if he doesn't sell it first) it will probably have new interior and what not. pretty impressive for his age!

Re: got a new camera, ride with me

I have a friend (we call him T Rox) that built an early 80s malibu, dam thing runs low tens and he consistently hits .007 lights .... he's 84! It just goes to show, hot rodding has no age limits.
