Got bored.
I did a similar thing for fun. Also went the other way with weight and speed. Made myself the ultimate uber-clyde (mild understatement), weighing hundreds of tons and traveling at 300 mph.

200000 lbs.
300 mph

That's some serious wattage and some serious calories expended - how many Power Bars is that?! LOL

Awww, you were thinking of me? How sweet!

Yes, I like Chipotle burritos. There is one close to me here. My favorite burrito place is Moe's in Atlanta.

"Welcome to Moe's!"

Art Vandalay with some chips and queso....


Oops...now I am derailing the thread. I'll have to take this discussion over to Foo.



p.s. Umm...for those of you who have eaten at Moe's and had the Art Vandalay with an order of chips and salsa, I have one question.

Did it make your poop bright green also, or is it just me?

hahaha 1000 years hahaha.

Anyway, I ride in kilometres (Canadian, eh?) so I had to fudge my numbers a wee bit. I dunno how much my bike weighs, not a ton.

anyway, I come out something like 900 mpg. :gasp:
