“The Creature”
500 cc ____Thumper_____ 500 cc
Reverse trike project
makes children cry
slices deer in half
funky in almost every way
not safe or practical at all
A truly unique project for an adventurous, reative individual. The successful bidder should fall madly in love with “the creature” at first sight. You should feel the urge to jump up from the computer and scream “this is it ! this is what I want! I found it! we have found each other!” . . . because joy will turn to toil in the untold hours that will be spent figuring out all the details and putting your own mark on this beast of a machine. There is much yet to be done. Are you the one to do it? Who, f anyone, ill rise above the grey muck of the normal to grasp the reigns and finish this magnificent project ? . . . I wonder.
