Probably a reference to that awful TV show with Lorenzo Lamas and lots of bad riding...

Is that an oil pressure gauge mounted under the tank? I haven't seen that before. It seems like it would be hard to check while going down the road.

Occy/Oxxy.  With a name like that I can guess his muse . . .

I'd completely forgotten that the 850T was a 79hp machine!  They didn't reclaim that mark until the 8v Griso 40 years later . . .

I'm surprised he hasn't been pulled over due to those buzzsaw blades sticking out at ankle level.  Those will be hard on either him or the pedestrian he runs over.  I did a tipover making a U-turn in a parking lot once and crushed the side of my foot under a hinged floorboard.  I was on crutches for about 3 weeks.  My floorboards didn't have teeth.  I can't imagine the additional damage teeth would have done.   :shocked: :cry: :shocked: :cry:

Oh -- he hasn't been pulled over for the Darwin-grade mods because there's only been a few hundred miles put on it since the abortion 5 years ago.  Gee.  Wonder why?

Sorry, but in an area that has no rules, he's broken them all.  Even accounting for "different strokes" and "personal aesthetics", aside from that legendary (mythical?) 79hp mill, there's nothing to like here.

I can see the reason for building it though -- he made it so completely unlovable that the wife made him buy the new Guzzi.  That part was smart!   :thumb:
