Pretty nice, built by a high school student. Obviously can't ride it on the road but probably a bit of fun in a quarry or a beach. Looks like it has no clutch or brakes so I'm guessing it's a 1 gear wonder and I don't see a muffler so I'm guessing it's loud... :tomato:

Looks like a rear foot break on the right side and the exhaust can be seen exiting the head on the top/left side of the engine. The muffler is likely hidden behind the Vault-tec shroud. Looks to be a small engine of sorts that may or may not have a "clutch".

But very cool looking none-the-less.

Damn, that looks really good. Isn't it a similar design to another bike posted back in the early 200's? Capable of 300mph or something like that..?

Or, am I just thinking of the bike from The Dark Knight?

Looks great but I'm not sure I'd like to have a crash on it. All that metal looks painful.

Its got a clutch you dumb shit. It's a mower engine with a centrifugal clutch, don't you know anything?

Perhaps you missed the quotes I put around the word clutch. Meaning a clutch in the more traditional sense. You know, a manually operated clutch? Like the ones 90% of people would identify with if they weren't working really hard to be a dick.

You're talking to doombrain here, if he's not being a dick he's obviously dead.

That said, that isn't a brake pedal you see back there it's the bike stand from the other side. Also that'd be a monster lawn mower engine, looks more like some kind of tractor engine to me. I also know you wouldn't be moving that thing around on 6HP in the mud as evidenced by the tracks in the background.

True, I was thinking a ride on mower maybe but the engine doesn't look right. I found some other pics of the bike too that shows it with a nuka cola tray in the back of the bike with random fallout references. Can't find any build notes though.

Just because a manually operated clutch can't be seen in the pic doesn't mean there isn't one. Comprende?

I don't understand what turning straw into gold has to do with anything.
