Have you guys seen this?

It looks pretty smart. And from the sound files on the site - it sounds pretty cool too. It was great fun with a lolly stick in my day - but the shiny exhaust is a nice touch.

I need to come up with something like this. Then I could retire and ride more often. :)

Matel used to have a stick shift thing that you mounted on your bike that made motor noises. We just used clothes pins and baseball cards to do the samething when I was a kid.

I think this thing would be something for down hillers on pavement. To see how loud you could get it to go.
