It. for a record of ten feet. ok, so my abs are burning like crazy from the half hour of practice, but this proves that it can be ridden, and with practice, i should be able to ride it further distances. so i told you so. pictures are coming soon.

wow!! ten feet riding a porta potty, that's unbelieveable! I can only
hang on for maybe 3 feet, wow.
Sorry, I couldn't help myself. That is a cool contraption, but like
everyone else asked, where do you put your feet, how does it work?

Pretty cool, I think pegs would complete it. So what does SMD stand
for?

Yup!
You should really put pegs on it. That would make it easier, better,
more fun, and more practical. Then I might buy one.
Maybe not.

It was a good attempt, but I'll bet it never catches on.
Just do what Unibiker did. Or slap some pegs on your invention there
and try again.

oh i'm not thinking it will either. i just made it because i had a bunch
of spare [censored] leftover from my crappy-'raffe, (crappy giraffe) and i
couln't let it go to waste. i was never thinking about marketing this,
mind you... if that's what you guys are saying. If you guys want one,
it would only take: -about $20 at a thrift store,
-a hacksaw
-a welder OR a roll of duct tape.
-and some epoxy or gorilla glue.
not hard at all. and i might try pegs, but i probably would take them
off, because if you fall forward, you already have a huge possibililty
of tripping over the handlebars... pegs would make it harder.
i hardly use the brake at all, mind you, i just left it on...

Then it should have pegs, of course. And mounts for rocket engines.
