Heidi-I took the picture.

General info:
The chopper has a 4-stroke techumseh 6 hp engine and a centrifugal clutch and linked to the rear wheel at a 1:6 ratio. There is a brake, but it is not very visable in any of the photos (the riders feet are the emergency brake). It goes about 35 mph at top speed. And while I was home, at least two people referred to me as "Paulie". Dave is the only person to crash the bike so far (minus a riderless mishap during testing)

Amanda - Sean did ride it, albeit very slowly and cautiously.

If anyone is interested...you can come pick it up for $500...which is a steal considering it has been riden and dubbed "PIMP" by Dave.

EDIT: Notice Dave's hair (especially you Heidi)...it remianed like that for about 10-15 minutes after he got off.
EDIT 2: You should have seen the license plate on the truck that Dave slid under when he dumped it. I wish we had gotten a picture..it was upside down and backwards.
