Yes , but :

1) I'm old enough not to worry about that sorta' **** anymore.

2) I reckon a screwed up Big Mac box biffed into that exposed drive belt on the LHS will slow him way down?

the fact he is dumb/brave enough to ride with the belt just inches away shocks me. i seen drive belts on 14L diesel engines break....not to good

Yep, that belt will do quite a bit of damage when it goes... Not to mention getting your pants between there... My friend's little brother lost the tip of his index finger when he was trying to get the choke off on a moped but accidentally stuck his finger between the chain and the front sprocket... Another thing that worried me is the turbo on the other side. That can get way hot too, and there's no any kind of filter so imagine a little rock going in there and exploding the hot turbo right next to your knee... Cool bike, but unrideable... That driving position don't look that comfy either... Would like to see the power curve too...

Yo, dog! We heard you like fast and mean things so we took your perfectly good bike and put a supercharger AND a turbo in it! Then we figured you could still ride it if you're mad enough so we made the riding position totally impossible! Consider yourself PIMPED!

Intimidated? Not by the bike's performance, maybe a little, by the skills needed to build it.

I'm thinking the bike doesn't leave its greenhouse looking porch other than by push, for the rear tire does not look worn at all

that's a real bike.... built from the ground up.


id like to see you guys try to build something like that. i know most of you guys don't like anything more than a double bubble and a pipe on a bike, but to make a complete custom roll down the road - not to mention - twincharged...

that's the real deal. everything minus the motor, forks, and tires, were built in a garage behind a house by 2 guys with minimal money.
