I’ve got a class 2 on the broiler. I hit some snags today. Turns out this thing has an aluminum frame and swing arm.

I can’t weld that so I’m redirecting

Hopefully I’ll be far enough along to start my build thread tomorrow. It’s been raining all day which doesn’t help the situation.

Wheelies aren't in the rules, but I am sure if I try to ride this I will easily do a reverse wheelie. :D
I missed that the front tire has to be smaller than the rear. I can still meet the 2 out of 3 rule by putting apes AND a nanner on it. :D

Do it.. need one heck of a sissybar
 
There are lots and lots of things not written in the rules which people consider when they vote. FYI, the lack of a polo/banana seat of some type on a muscle bike would immediately lose my vote.

A stoppie is not a reverse wheelie. Totally different animals.

Most bikes will not do a reverse wheelie because you cannot pedal the front wheel backwards. There the pennyfarthing would be king. (Please post a video!)

Muscle bikes can do a stoppie, sometimes, (Not mine, because to me a muscle bike does not have a front brake) but none of them can do a reverse wheelie. (A wheel stand while going in reverse.**)

And by that I mean a power wheelie, done by pushing the petals. Not just someone yanking the bike up off the ground physically like a BMX rider.

Now, on the pennyfarthing you don’t dare do a stoppie! (Or as we call it around here an oldbiscuit. ;) )

Otherwise, someone please show me a picture of a muscle bike that is not wheelie-capable.

There may not be anything about this in the official rules, but it will certainly affect the way I vote.

** There are front wheel drive cars that can do a real reverse wheelie. I’ve seen it at the autocross track, although admittedly it was a custom built car.
 
I need one of those in my kitchen be handy when the kids think it's funny to put my sugarcrisp on the top shelf.
There’s a show on YouTube called Abandoned and Forgotten Places, where this guy goes into old mines and caves. On one show he took a ladder like that and I was amazed that it wasn’t the most wobbly POS. He only did that one time in 100 shows.
