Wow. Single gear I suspect?

I think I heard one gear change about mid-track, but I could be wrong.

How crazy do you have to be to ride that thing at those speeds?

Good thing he wore his Spiderman clothes.

I assume Trim Tex makes beads for finishing drywall work and not for little old lady hobbyists to string together.

It's a wheelie preventer.

The torque generated by little more than a huge engine with a seat would be substantial.

Notice how small the peg the rider puts his foot on?

I wonder what it took to stop that thing in less than a mile.

I couldn't see one, but I would bet a parachute is tucked in the rear body work somewhere.

Are those training wheels or wheelie preventers?

Yeah, I knew that, but was joking.   Used to go to Epping Dragway back in the early 80s.  I remember some crazy scooters, even jet powered ones.  Lot of fun to watch.

I bet that if we raised as much as $7 to pay him, we could get Huaco to ride that thing.

He'd probably do it for free if we included Spiderman pajamas.

I bet if you gave him a twelve-pack, he would ride it nekkid.
