    Oh my god - i spent a fortnight trying not to kill myself on those things once. They burn your knees and spit raw fuel at you.

    They can be tuned though...I've seen one with a nitrous'd GoPed engine at each end...Scary stuff.

    haha, why is the engine at the front? someone needs shooting for that.

    The more I look at it the funnier it gets :D you paid 300 what for it :D If it's anything other than milk bottle tops or italian lira then you're a mug :D

    My dad used to have a BSA 'winged wheel'. Basicly the much better british version where the engine was at the back!

    Was fun :thumb:
