Ok folks.
So I had to attend a funeral for my aunt this weekend just south west of Ottawa in a town that is basically an intersection.
So driving between houses where people where getting ready, I stumbled upon this master piece!
The guy who owns this "thing" ( i would say a mini funny car) said his dad & himself built this.
It has an 8 hp motor, which he had taken upto 35 MPH and said he nearly crapped himself. Just looking at the design I could see why. I didn't get to ask to many questions about it but took a few pics in the short time passing by.
He said he has plans on building some more monstrosities.
I guess in a small town you have to pass the time some how.
Here are some pics, Enjoy Muuhahahaha Muuhahahaha

I dont know about yall, but some ideas are rollin through my head.
I may just have to go to the drawing board. Winter is coming up and well, the mods to the bike wont take long so there will have to be something else that occupies my time.
Ahh new topic to start.
