I remember when chain saw engines were often put on a bike to make a DIY motorcycle. I suspect that it worked OK with the old standard bike, but not the light weight models. ---

The gearing looks like it will produce a 100mph cruising speed…The chainsaw is a museum relic… Photoshop 101?? What to do while I wait for my next SSDI check… ---

Is that the bike that will be featured in the “chainsaw massacre” movie installment? ---

It could very well be a horror movie prop… ---

In cycling we have a crash called an “endo”, where the bike flips forward and the rider goes over the handlebars. I would not want to be the poor guy that does an “endo” on this bike. ---

We fabricated a go cart as kids with a chain saw engine, silly us we did not keep the blade! Perfect engine, automatic clutch and horizontal drive! ---

When I was a kid…I use to ride a bike ALL the time. I went over the handlebars a few times while growing up. Nothing serious…but with that bike…I’m sure I wouldn’t be here today if I went over the bars. ---

Forgot to mention it’s Russian. So along with the biggest [bomb](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba), [bell](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bell) and [cannon](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Cannon), they have the most dangerous bicycle. ---

Obviously, they are not burdened by liability lawsuits for consumer goods. That thing gives the tailgater an unfair advantage. TSM, it might also re-define the meaning of ENDO 😉 ---

People would certainly get out of your way! ---

TT, it certainly would. ---

This bike would be great for cutting through traffic. ---

It will discourage anyone from wanting to ride on your handlebars, and will certainly make pedestrians hurry up if ridden on the sidewalk… ---

How old is the picture. That chainsaw looks like it might have cut the timbers for the Csar’s summer palace.
