Attack Choppers

Man, it's COLD out there!

-20F wind chill right now... tommrow the temps are suppose to hit -20F acutal temps... and -40 with the wind chill.
That sucks.
I know some of you guys out there are in much worse situations... but this is pretty nasty to us.

I could use some of that global warming I keep hearing about!

I think I will post some new Motoyan photography to cheer me up... Yan... you rule.
All photos by my buddy Motoyan, from his NFK blog.

This first batch are loosely Attack chopper related... the rest just RULE.

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)
