    I was thinking the same thing, could swear I've read this before a long time ago even though the time stamp on that first post is only a month old.

    think this happened before, just not the same case... this one probably worse with the 7 holes...

    Wow. This was funny too:

    Ya know, Ive been doing this for almost 10 years and every time I think i've seen it all, I come across something new like this.

    I think the strangest thing ive ever come across was a quad that a customer had just purchased that wouldnt crank. Turned out the engine was empty. No crank, transmission, valvetrain, etc. Just a empty shell.

    Yeah, but think of the weight savings, and that's a fact!

    Really dude?


    On topic of the thread, I thought I saw something like this before as well. I think it probably has happened more than once. Funny stuff though.

    You'd think this guy would have learned from the previous idiot who drilled a hole in his ECU and had the thread go viral.

    Yah he's got a point... and exceptional fuel economy, ahem. Seriously though that must have been a complete riot. You start to open up "the engine" and there's nothing there. That's worth a beer break at minimum.

    Re: Epic license plate mount failure.

    The number 1 thing I look for when I get a used bike is any tampering with the wiring. It's easy to fix things that mice or water or a crash has caused. It's a whole other story when some dumbass has rewired the whole bike because he read about how to do it online and nothing makes sense anymore. Ideally never buy a bike that has been modified at all. 99.99% of the time it's done wrong and makes things worse not better. OEM parts are also so much more expensive and better quality than most of the aftermarket crap people put on their bikes and cars, so returning something to stock usually costs more than the original mod.
