So some of you may remember me from requesting info on a project I was doing. You all were so nice I decided to show you all some results I ended up making the rear fenders removable and light-weight so that they can be carried along. To the bars I added hand guards for those pesky bugs and wind. The gas filler was moved to the floor boards and gas will be stored in the monocoque (sp?) frame. Those were just a few of the innovations. The seat was also changed, and molded into the body better. I decided to go for a lesser engine size because I don't think the time I spent on this project was worthy of the 250cc. Anyway, without further adue,

Not dumb... from this, and from the problem you're having uploading pictures, it sounds like you really need a better browser than the one you're using.

I would actually loe one for myself, but being as how I am just graduating from college, can't really afford one. Oh well. As for the grade, there wasn't one, it was a project that I did just to broaden my student portfolio. I don't really remember where I got the color scheme from, but I did look at the metropolitans when I was doing research so maybe a subliminal thing. Thanks for all your criticism guys.

Nope, not the MSF Basic, Larry. High school parking lot with my daughter's autocross cones. (She drives a battery Jeep around them in the driveway.)

In Ohio, you can't use your own bike. And she's probably have the face sheild down, too. [/OffTopic]
