Sooo.....I know you've been awake staring at your screen on this thread for a "THE ROACH IS ALIIIVE!" message to pop up,BUT,I've had a few things come up that prolonged the video of this bike in action. but trust me! It DOES ACTUALLY RUN! I know there are some skeptics out there. :? :? :? but it works!
Here is a poor video of it that I found on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZh0bdZnH-M
The sound quality reaaaally doesn't catch the awesomness of the bike

Dude! Never seen a flatty motor with a hair dryer on a motorbike!
There is so much to love about this build, but my favorite detail is the piston / socket kickstand!!! WICKED!
You local to New Orleans?? I might have to see this thing in person...
Cheers from England mates! *clashes pints of coca colas together*
So here is the 411,I live in the country,back home in la and the people won't run any Internet to us. The nearest place we get it is 30 mins away. Anyways,so I PROMISE to have a quick vid put together for this thing. I know there are people doubting out there it actually works
A video will come! This I can promise!
We are localish to new Orleans. About an hour and half away. We will (hopefully) be at a car show in hammond at the mall next Saturday which is the 10th if you want to meet up. Bring your bikes! We are trying to make it as well as bringing the saints bike and the sniper.
Keep pushin pedals and God save the queen!

Isaiah, thanks so much for posting EL THUNDER on your site. I was shocked when I saw it. you guys are doing alot of good things for kids. thank you for that. I decided not to go with the wood recliner seat, just didn't look right to me so I am putting on my tractor seat with the shock. looks so much better. will post some pic's on my build soon.
again thank you for posting the bike. now we need to see that vid on Roach.

oh sooo kool. I only hope Thunder rides that nice. I know it wont go 55 but hopein for at least 25. actually I just hope the engine will run an at least move the bike with that big wheel on it. I am on hold with it right now. still thinking about the front sprocket mounting on the hub. thanks for the vid and putting Thunder on your facebook site.
