    That would be a shit load of fun Friwi.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    TAURUS 2×2 ALL-TERRAIN MOTORCYCLE

    Share It If You Love it...
    two-wheel drive motorcycle is rare, but not new. however, the Russian Taurus 2×2 All-Terrain Motorcycle is on a league of its own. the two-wheel drive system coupled with super chunky tires allows it to transverse across the toughest terrain imaginable, going where four-wheel drive vehicles can’t but even if it can’t, its mere 47 to 74 kilograms of weight means it is lightweight enough to be picked up and carry over, or at least drag, to where you want to go. don’t believe? catch the video after the break and see it for yourself. there are two models planned: a 2×2 Taurus 2, which is the lightweight version fitted with low-pressure tires, and a 2×2 Taurus 2m, which is a heavier and more powerful model, fitted with serious off-road rubbers.



    both rides share several key features which includes a 3-speed transmission, brake disc on intermediate shaft (as opposed to regular disc brakes on each wheel), 1.2 liters per hour fuel economy, a top speed of 60 km/h (37 mph) and a 55-degree turning angle. both bike is ‘foldable’, but well, they aren’t foldable per say. the bike can be easily disassembled into smaller parts and fit into two specially made bags for easy storage and transportation. with the exception of ridiculously tiny car like the Smart, those two bags should fit into the smallest of cars. the lighter of the two, the model 2, weighs in at between 47 and 50 kilograms, which makes it light enough to handle muddy ground with ease, while the model 2m tips the scale at between 72 and 74 kilograms. the heavier weight is probably due to a more powerful four-stroke engine and the full-fledge off-road tires which measures 220mm wide and 650mm in diameter.

    apparently, the Taurus is still in production concept stage, but the good news is, it will eventually be made available as DIY kits. it will carry with it a starting price of 35,000 Russian Rubles (about US$980) when it finally becomes available. according to the website, the company has up to four rides planned, including a four-wheeled motorcycle in the pipeline. keep going to see the bike in action.

    Trials bikes certainly rock. Hard Enduro rider Graham Jarvis does that sort of rock hopping but on an Enduro bike...

    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    I was watching red bull tv the other day and saw bits of him doing Romaniacs. Also watched the Chris Birch Project where he was gearing up for the Enduro X in Las Vegas. Seems he found that a bit too Super Cross ish. I think he was up Woodhill the other weekend when the 2 man was on. Lately I've been getting Facebook updates about him trying to peel the weight off his new KTM. Him and Levi are certainly making their mark internationally.
