Watch a nitrous backfire turn a motorcycle rider into a human torch

This nitrous backfire may have only lasted a few tenths of a second, but we imagine that was far too long for the unfortunate Harley owner shown in this video. We are guessing you are watching the last time this guy feeds a poorly running Harley nitrous, at least without a lot of flame resistant…

Wine Racks On Bicycles Are Great Ideas

Of all the things that seem a little absurd on paper, a bicycle wine rack would, for me, be up there with beard beanies. But when they look good and get the job done, I might reconsider. See, I don’t necessarily like the idea of a wine bottle hanging precariously between my legs while I’m…
