p.s. Why worry about Kris’ real name? That is what he uses, many others do the same. Would you go to the movies to see Norma Jean Baker? No? How about Marilyn Monroe? One and the same.

Those that comment on something they know little, or nothing about, are the ones that are the loudest.

Again this proves one simple thing,

“Those that can, do, Those that can’t, will always talk shit.”

I had a young 20+ year old kid tell me one time when we were having a discussion about new inventions, “I don’t see how we can have any more new investions, everything I can think of has already be made.” Some people can look at a blue print and see what the finished product looks like, others can’t even imagine it until they “see it working,” I would say the ranters in this blog must fall into the later.
If you employ a little bit of logic, you should ask yourself, “why would anyone spend that much time and money building something that doesn’t work?” It is amazing how you think you know more having never seen the bike other than in the picture than Kris who designed and built it and Tony who stood there next to Kris and learned how it works. You sure don’t give much credit to the all time champion NHRA Top Fuel drag racer to think that he would not understand whether the bike will work or not. I was at a race in Charlotte and saw the bike myself. I didn’t think it would work either until I saw Kris demonstrate how the bike turns. Everyone including me, thought the frame was rigid until Kris turned the handle bars. You should have seen the shock in the peoples faces, including myself when we learned how it worked. By the way one of the top motorcycle drag racers was also there sitting on the bike and he thought it was absolutely amazing. But I guess the ranters know more than him also.

I have been in business – not the motorcycle business – for 20+ years. What I have learned that most people have in common boils down to two things: fear and greed. More specifically people fear the unknown – or what they don’t understand in this case. And secondly they want more for themselves. This blog hits both for the ranters, they don’t have the mental capcity to understand it and are fearful and further they are greedy knowing they didn’t come up with it and are not going to get any benefit from it. Or, you are simply in the business and feel threatened.

What ever the motivation of the ranters- it sure has been fun reading. Reading your rants is just like watching that reality show “The Worlds Dumbest Criminals.” It certainly gives me a great laugh.

Good points, especially the Big Daddy analogy.

Ya, everybody hates something…… it’s part of what makes us human…..
And so, Bitching about that fact is a moronic waste of time.

Exactly what is being said herein was said about Garlits and his rear engine dragster. Even NHRA had their doubts about his new design …… so nothing has changed much ….only different products.

Nicker,

The term “haters” is generally used by people who: are 16 years old or younger, people lacking a credible argument and/or someone who is off their medication. A “hater” user is also known to use the term “ I am going to tell my mommie!”.

Art is one individual’s expression of taste and perspective. The evaluation of any instance of Art is purely subjective.

The professional Art Critic is a person who gets paid to “formulate” an opinion….. expressly for those too lame or timid to come up with their own opinion.

One can Love, Hate, or be totally Ambivalent to Art, it’s a matter of individual taste. Hence there is no right or wrong in individual opinion.

The only objective evaluations one could raise would be over execution in terms of technical merit, such as welding, paint, or functionality.

To me the pieces are appealing for their simplicity and clean lines.
I see-em both simply as art, where functionality is not relevant.

And so, the comment castigating those who don’t like these pieces make little sense. Everyone is free to Love or Hate a piece of art as they see it. To me, all the comments posted (both pro and con) are interesting…………. that is except the stupid ramblings about “Haters”……..

the vid got slammed by this site’s bloggers.kk’s feet dragging, barely balanced, at walking speeds in a parking lot.

it did satisfy the amd though as to it’s ‘ridability’.

the vid has since disappeared from youtube.

coincidence? you be the judge.

if there is nothing to hide from this engineering masterpiece, please repost the original video.
