I'm still laughing. Can't get the grin off of my face.

That Harbor Davidson is a hoot and fun to look at - but it isn't anything you are going to want to ride or own long term.  The smoothness and acceleration of a real motorcycle engine is far superior to what a lawn mower engine of any size can provide.  It is a novelty and might be fun at Bike Week, Sturgis, campground or any other place where traffic is at parade speeds - but is likely a hazard and waaay too slow to be safe to ride on a modern highway.  Back in the 1980's I drove a VW bus with a 40HP engine - the National Speed Limit was 55mph and I could maintain 60mph on the flat and on the steep hills would tuck in behind a semi and claw my way up the hill........you could not drive the bus safely on the highway today (Same for the Harbor Davidson).

They paid $2,000 for the used Harley, the engine is $119 at Harbor Freight, they spend $400 modifying the engine to get from 6.5HP to 18HP.....and they didn't say what they spent on chains and sprockets - and they didn't include any idea what their labor was worth...or what the original engine could be resold for.  I would suspect that they could have rebuilt the motor and kept on doing the Potato-potato thing for a while for about the same amount of money and time they spent converting it to the Harbor Davidson.

For about the same amount of money you could get a real motorcycle.

And you can buy nice Japanese V-Twins by the dozen for $2,000 - $3,000.

It really is a great time to be buying a used motorcycle!

My mental Record PLayer sees something and drops a tune on th platter,,
I saw that and Immediately
Too much time on my hands
started playing..

No sound on my laptop,, so,, I watched a coupla minutes,, Gotta give them points for funny..

My buddy who sent it to me told me theres no sound board,, so,, it cant do it,, But,, he got me a mouse, took this thing he was gonna throw away, put the original hard drive in set it up to go to Lichess and shipped it to me, all for the princely sum of $100.00,, So,, mehh,, no sound,, bummer that that is,, Its an Acer 512 series, built in 07 and I can play chess on it,, very quietly,,

I wonder what it would take, is it possible, to put one in that would allow me to connect to a blutooth speaker..
I would like for it to have sound,,

Okay,,
Frikken Drivers,, I remember when I built a tower,, and installed Office, YeeHaah,, Couldnt do it again, no way..
