Burn it with fire, then throw what remains in a volcano...then pour the world's supply of concrete into the Volcano.

One of the options should have been, it has two wheels and I would ride it. Don't knock it until you try it.

It's probably still better than most of the craigslist bikes that were "never raced, and only trail ridden"....

Not sure what they would do with it in new Hampshire unless it goes really good in snow.

It does look like a pretty well built conversion.

Y'all probably gonna think I'm joking, but this is a serious question. To what end does one build a bike like that? Is it for trail riding or mudding? Both? $8000 ain't gonna happen.

Yea, gotta wonder what would possess someone to wake up one morning and say “hey, I know what I’m going to do now with that big wheel bike that’s been sitting in the garage”.

I bet it turns better and has slimmer ergos than a 2019 yz 450.

I do ride quads, bikes, utvs. I actually like to ride almost anything, it doesn't have to be a new KTM SXF to be fun to ride. I would think guys on a MX forum would be up to ride anything with two wheels, but most on here lately probably don't even own a bike, you included

Since it's from New Hampshire I'm guessing it's used primarily in the snow.

Gotta go with inbreeding. I was leaning towards meth until I realized that the bike appears finished, and in rather straightforward working order. If it were meth, it would either:

-still be in pieces

Or

-be a mix of duct tape, fix a flat, and bad welding, and wiring would be hanging out everywhere. You haven’t lived until you’ve seen a career meth-head’s attempt at a car stereo and amplifier install...

Every one of you would throw a leg over that thing if no one was looking.

Sandblaster. I wonder how that think would feel in the air with the big tires. Where are those flying blue pig photos when you need them.

I have a few big wheels, 80-350cc and they're fun for screwing around. They don't like turning much, but that's part of the experience. Ya gotta be a poser to turn your nose up at that thing. Looks like its made properly and with tlc. I'd rip it in 2 seconds son. You guys should try a tri-z or a tecate or a 250r three wheeler, you'd shit yer britches. As stated above, if you like to rip, you'll do yourself a favor by trying other toys

Yep, if I showed up at the dunes and was offered a ride, I'd see what kind of roost it would throw....
