Does size really matter? Or the angle?
Semantic antic?
Tomfoo-ery?
Is there a prop-oser?
Would a pair be lean-two?
And where would wedge fit in there?
Don't go all fulcrum on me. I don't have the leverage.

The Lamborghini bike/tractor takes me back to the LeMay American Car Museum where I volunteer. We had a display of exotic cars and among them were Lamborghini including a tractor which is where his company started, farm implements, but you could see it all waiting to happen with two details on this tractor. First, the engine and transmission castings had 'Lamborghini" in lovely flowing script all over the place but then there were these, beautifully machined aluminum shift knobs, this in the day and age of the ubiquitous black blob of plastic shift controls knobs on all the Farmall, John Deere, etc. tractors. The man was destine to build exotic sports cars, couldn't be helped.

From today's 40 miler around downtown Dallas and back.
Infamous Triple Overpass.
That area was teeming with people today
Leaning on super lean beef.
Leaning on caboose which epitomizes my riding these days.
Leaning near Pegasus.
Original posting said hot bikes I think, although the franken' build of this Schwinn may not fit that description in the intended sense but any bike ridden in Texas summers is a ''hot' bike.
It did serve me well today for 40 slow 'bringing up the caboose' miles.
If I was 'leaner' maybe I would not 'bring up the caboose'.
