Lightbulb Why Ford Needs to Put the Lightning Motor in Bike

I hope I won't get smacked down with the "Welcome to Last Week" insult, but thought this was worth sharing:

500-hp, 8.3-liter Viper V-10-powered Dodge Tomahawk: 400 MPH!! This guy should probably be wearing a helmet...

that is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. How will it turn? You would be on your side around every curve.

You better make sure you stay close to gas stations with that thing

I can't imagine it has much range.

Thumbs up

At least it was brought onstage under its own power. Gotta give 'em respect for building a WORKING concept as outlandish as that.

Am I seeing things, or are the headers on backwards? I guess DC had better improve their build quality!
