I’m genuinely asking you…how should I destroy a motorcycle?
To help ensure the Beater Olympics that Bike-urious recently hosted were a success, I sourced a few cheap bikes ($500) from Craigslist. One was a Honda VTR250 that runs great and is tagged until next April, so that deserves a new good home. Another was a Honda XR350R that also deserves a good home. The last was a Zongshen 200cc that probably deserves a good home, but I can’t imagine I’ll be able to get any resale value out of it.
After we started to take it apart to fix/clean it up, we discovered it was infested with black widows – you can probably guess what we named the bike for the event. It also got a Black Widow-inspired rattle can spray job.
Again, I don’t expect to sell this for anything worth my time. So…let’s have some fun with it. I’m reaching out to you, my creative, fun-loving reader: how would you destroy a dirt cheap beater bike?
House Rules:
1.) It will be recorded and shared with you (duh.)
2.) Because of rule number 1, we’re not doing anything super illegal.
3.) I’m poor (but willing to beg for favors!), so keep that in mind. Bonus points to anyone who’s willing to donate towards their optimal idea of destruction.
UPDATE: You guys got to me, and we did not destroy the bike. Instead, I gave it to a father/son duo in exchange for some beer so the little one could learn how to ride. You saps.
