Attack Choppers: midwest

Snowed in...

...well, we've been hit with the second blizzard in 3 weeks time, and nobody knows for sure how much snow we have gotten, but the drifts are 8 foot high in some places.
So yeah... basically I am thinking about cutting open a Taun-Taun to stay warm.
40 mph winds have made it really hard to do much, and that makes it less likely for my computer guy to work on my computer when he is diggin himself out.

Unfortunetly, I still have to go to work ... but I am trying keep moving a little bit on the blog, now and then.

My chopper manifesto

I do not accept the assumption that a rigid framed motorcycle cannot go fast, stop quickly, or handle well. I want my choppers to perform above the social accepted performance standard for rigid framed motorcycles; (that is to say: BAD)
These are the standards I have set before myself to achieve with said choppers:

My choppers must be able to Evade, Pursue, and allow me to survive.
My choppers must be light.
My choppers must be skinny and be able to navigate tight traffic with ease.
My choppers must go fast, accelerate hard, stop well, handle good, and do so without fusing my vertabrae.
My choppers must not scrape hard parts when leaning.
My choppers are not bar hoppers.
My choppers are not non-functioning scuplture.
My choppers must function like a real, useable vehicle.
My choppers must be a valid mode of transportation.
My choppers must not be built for other peoples enjoyment or entertainment.
My choppers must be built for me and my preferences and standards alone.
My choppers must not be fragile.
My choppers must be able to hop curbs, hit potholes, skid, wheelie, do burn outs and crash without breaking.
My choppers must be able to be ridden on all sufaces (Pavement, dirt, gravel, snow, sand, mud)
