Have you noticed these people could save money and more weight by loosing it from their body? From what I see on the road these weight weenies are ridiculous. Anyone else noticing this fad going to a new level?
P.S. Remember that with motor sports they mostly upgrade for engine power instead of weight savings. We can upgrade engine power by spending time on our bikes (and not money).
Your kidding right? As long as there have been motors there have been folks dropping them into lighter weight bodies not to mention all the factory built "hot rods".
