happythoughts 0 #1 February 17, 2003 QuoteA New Zealand man ended up in court after he was seen speeding semi-naked down a road on a motorised barstool with his backside on fire. QuoteThe flames come courtesy of one of Mr Sullivan's party tricks which involves a piece of rolled-up newspaper and a cigarette lighter.

sharpfive 0 #3 February 17, 2003 What's really amazing is that he was speeding with the barstool? I wonder what the top end and MPG of one of those things are? Automatic transmission? CD player? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CD player? Quote Sullivan, of Tauranga, confessed to having "had a few" and said he shouldn't have been on the road on the motorised barstool, which he claimed could reach 50mph. 50 is not bad for a bar stool.

dterrick 0 #5 February 17, 2003 ...my 'death scooter' only does 30 ... guess I need more gear. Here's the recipe... Take 1 kid's scooter, 1 chain saw motor, a handful of gears, pillow blocks, and #35 chain. Weld stuff together. Add alcohol and stupidity. Ignite. Downwind 'swoop runs' are a blast and you don't need to flare Dave PS: front brake only. Life expectancy of said brake pads - 1 tank of fuel or first crash. The Mk II version has a suspension frame and "dual cantalever brakes". I guess I'm turning into a wus! Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend (Lennon/McCartney) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #6 February 17, 2003 Looks cool. When I was 9, I took a regular mini-bike (3.5 hp motor) and extended the front forks. Put on a banana seat and a sissy bar. I was the only kid in town with a chopper. It didn't go fast enough to be dangerous. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
