Who's Man Enough?

Saw this on Craigslist tonight. Thought it was worthy of it's own thread.

Who's man enough to go for a ride?

I'd do it............

The stainless fasteners I've been buying lately have only been about grade 3.

I'll be honest, if I was offered either that or a 200 Qingqi / Qlink / Konker super moto, and selling them was not possible for whatever reason, I'd take the China bike.

I was scared a 140. So no thanks. The konker sounds better to me too.

I'm with Jim on this one too.
Now if thame came out with a reality TV show called DYNO WARS or something, it might be worthwhile.

That's a Tomahawk built by Dodge, powered with a Viper engine: http://www.allpar.com/cars/concepts/tomahawk.html

Yeah, I never read the ad, I skimmed the end of it, didn't realized he claimed it was his custom work???

I'd ride it, I just mean, I like practicality in a bike, and that thing is just stupid. In my opinion. :roll:

And with your $10,000 retainer, if you decide to buy you only have to come up with $76,000... Cheap like borscht!

I didn't say I'd buy it, just that I'd ride it!

Lol, I can't even imagine what riding something with that much power would be like, though with the sellers "Depends" disclaimer I am guessing it would be scary as heck! 8O

Does look just like the tomahawk doesn't it? I wonder where he got it if he did buy it?

I thought it was cool enough to post anyhow. Not that I'd want to it for any reason. Would be a hairy ride.

Aye, maybe he stole it and is trying to cover it up by saying he built it! Just kidding... Can you imagine Anthony Hopkins flying down the salt flats on this thing?

Does beg the question though... Why is he claiming that he built it?

Only thing I can think of is perhaps he copied the specs and look of the tomahawk and made one himself? It looks the same, but with only 9 ever sold I can't imagine one would land up here in BC. Add says it has a 454 in it, which is chevy power, and I'm sure Dodge used the Viper motor.

Could be a fake ad for that matter too.
