Friday Humor: How to reduce the fuel consumption of a motorcycle even further
How to further reduce the fuel consumption of a motorcycle:Step One: Find a motorcycle.
Step Two: Disassemble motorcycle
Step Three: Reassemble motorcycle
Step Four: Hmmm... Where was this other wheel supposed to go?
We're not sure if those were the exact steps taken to arrive at the vehicle you see here, but the result looks about right. In all honesty, this machine was a real invention, and we think it's from MV Agusta. In fact, we think we remember that there was a racing series just for this bike. Probably hard to ride, but all of the essentials are still there if you can manage it. Looks like fun, but it's probably about half as safe as traveling on two wheels.

Do I spoil the fun if I tell you it's not really real?

Not real?!?! What do you mean? I saw it on the internet! You mean some internet web sites could be posting misleading info or outright lies??? That's news to me.... Pick a topic, ANY topic. Now, go back and read the "Friday Humor" post and imagine the possiblites. Where do the segawy gyros and CPU fit? Under the tank?
