Heloo Zimbabwe I'm from!

[Tafawdwa Memutese]

Heloo.
My name is Tafawdwa. I am from Rhodesia but am living is Peru for the current being of time. I am the make of the motorbike in picture but i want to be the best fast in my tribe and want to put a petro operated machine on my bamboo motor bike but I am at lost of how this is to do.
Someone here has done this I know and want information to be told to me.
I am thankful to all.

Now THAT'S funny. Well done.

Careful not to get your loincloth stuck in the back wheel. It might give a killer wedgie.

not a motorbike but a gravity scooter..
and to be the fastest you need to find the steepest hill to go down

not even bamboo ... *sigh*

Anyways... mounting an engine to anything is as trivial as bolting it down and connecting the dots (i.e the rotating shaft with whatever needs to be rotated..)

Anyways, you need some balls of steel just to ride those things without an engine..
with an engine you need to have your brain removed first

How does one get from Zimbabwe to Peru on a wooden bike?

 

[MTNSleder]

What's you got for an engine? *cough umm I mean petro burning machine...

Quick question eh Dose it snow in Peru eh???

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

The proper syntax for this question is:

What for you petro burning machine have got?

 

[MTNSleder]

What for you petro burning green house gas emitting planet killing machine have got?

Aha ok... Got it thanks...

Do you guys really believe this is a legitimate post? Fred Flintstone had a more advanced mini bike. Have any of you guys put a gas engine on a bamboo frame? Seriously, he's wearing a loin cloth, do you think he could buy a Predator from Harbor Freight? (even with a coupon)

Pictures sure as heck is real

. You'd be amazed at what those people can buy, they save every last dime like crazy *well most of them*... I was in South America oh maybe 5 years ago, didn't see many half naked people rolling down hills tho, probably don't want to either

I gotta say, his braking system is better than the one on my '71 Foremost Golden Pinto.

Something's fishy. He should know Rhodesia no longer exists...not since 1980.

I heard that geography classes in the US end with the coastline or the Canadian resp. Mexican border;
I'm glad history classes didn't.

But try to keep up; that's why is Topic states he's from Zimbabwe...
The country with many fourty year olds that were born in Rhodesia [hint hint]

If you want to find something fishy, pick his nigerian name or the fact that there is very little bamboo in Peru much less in those scooters he posted

Turn it into a boat.

Actually Sid, my American geography classes in the 60's taught us about places outside of our borders...even remote places like Germany. Ask any World War veteran.

Thats rough.

stepped on your Toe TX?
my apologies..

I just watched too many issues of Jay Leno "jaywalking" I guess.

PS Wait.. I should ask a WW veteran where germany is on the map?? Is that what you're telling me to do?!... thank you, I think I have a good idea about that much geography already

And you might be right Hellion. His IP originates in either San Francisco or Montreal. I know that IP's can sometimes jump around a bit, but it is fishy.

And anyone living in Zimbabwe, especially a African gentleman, would not call Zimbabwe Rhodesia. I am just south of the border, and the only people I hear call Zimbabwe Rhodesia are old colonialist white farmers.

I don't know.......
