usualsuspects... that was a pretty funny one, I don't know if you meant for it to be or you were being serious, but it made me laugh... Seriously though, I know it's a good track bike, but what about stuntin it? Oh yeah, anyone know if the the frame can take a bigger motor??? Maybe a 600, anything??
