I know Dr. Reynolds has been...
...much publicizing the Dangerous Book For Boys here lately.
In that vein, I believe these young men and their nifty homemade motorlesscycles are just the sort of fellows who deserve their own chapter in the next edition of the book.
Just remember, kids--always wear your protective head plumage and loincloths.
(Thanks to Nate McCord, who identifies these boys as members of a Filipino chapter of the Hell's Angels, and says that they scare him.)
Justin bought the seven year old The Dangerous Book for Boys. He's enjoying it greatly, but hasn't tried any stunts other than making a stunt paper airplane. I'd like to keep it at that level of danger.

Reminds me of my college days when we learned how to make ninja throwing stars out of X-Acto #11 blades hot-glued between two pennies...

I bet Megabeth could point them to a better bike store than wherever they've been going until now.

Posted by: Terry Oglesby at June 11, 2007 02:18 PMIf one of them should get the end of those loincloths wrapped aroound that spinning rear wheel, he's going to be in a world of hurt.
Posted by: Nate at June 11, 2007 02:39 PMI think that's probably why they went to the solid disc wheels instead of the ones with spokes.
