For some of the same reasons some people build a 250mph airplane
instead of just buying one, when they have the money.

It's about solving problems, learning, and achieving something that
few people can, or will, do.

I can understand that, really, but that bike just isn't
practical in any way I can see. I know, I'd probably build
one myself but it's still a useless item.

This is a reminder that just because something is experimental, doesn't mean
it's "good".
And if nothing else, it can serve as a bad example.

It's cool, it's an accomplishment... but it's very silly.

Check out the RoadDog at

Someone in WI owns a replica that was featured on one of the Discovery
shows not too long ago. If memory serves, it weighed in at 3200 lbs.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Around 3GV MANY Chevy V-8 powered bikes can be seen.
Not to say they are status symbols, but they ain't cheap.
However, not much more than a new Harley-D.

Road Dog was a factor in these better bikes being built.
