Wonderfully detailed. Thanks for posting. (They should chop off the first 48 seconds though. That guy becomes insufferable fast--I just about closed the window. posted by You Should See the Other Guy at 10:11 AM on December 14, 2009
(Nice post! And yeah start at about 50 seconds in if you feel your interests beginning to evaporate.) posted by CitrusFreak12 at 10:18 AM on December 14, 2009
Oh, I call bullshit. You can totally see that bike didn't do this. And how would the pictures have been taken if the guy left through the door in the back?
seriously, nice try, n00b. posted by shmegegge at 10:27 AM on December 14, 2009
oh no wait, obviously the kid Noah was taking the pictures while the bike assembled itself. I take it back. my bad. posted by shmegegge at 10:31 AM on December 14, 2009

Noah needs a better tripod and a shutter release. Still amazing though! posted by WinnipegDragon at 11:15 AM on December 14, 2009
So that's how motorcycles are born... posted by fore at 11:43 AM on December 14, 2009

I was going to say this too, but I've said it in other threads. I think the word "bike," while it's obvious to us that it means "bicycle," equally obviously means motorcycles to a subset of those who enjoy them.
There's really nothing we can do to change their usage, and insisting is just gonna make us sound like pedantic assholes. Instead, we can giggle every time a gear-head refers to a "tranny." posted by explosion at 11:52 AM on December 14, 2009
Seems like Noah internalized the timing as the project went on, he kinda sucked at the beginning and at the end every damn thing in the garage is be-boppin' around to the beat.
I sure do love folk art.
(Although the first 50 seconds were indeed rough to watch, the true teen awkwardness aficionado will need to view his other video "Ghost Hunters" to get the fix he craves.) posted by chronkite at 12:09 PM on December 14, 2009
Just gonna say here, I am so down with the idea of a fixed-gear motorcycle. posted by ardgedee at 12:10 PM on December 14, 2009

Riding that would be swell. Stopping and starting it, not so much.
True. I have the scars and a distinct lack of front teeth to prove it. posted by Duke999R at 1:17 PM on December 14, 2009

Wow, loved the chain crawling out of the box and all of the cover pieces flying down. Crazy how much crap is going on towards the end! posted by sararah at 3:16 PM on December 14, 2009

Yup. And man, has it lead to some amusingly confused conversations between my cyclist sweetie and my motorcyclist self. posted by mollymayhem at 5:51 PM on December 14, 2009
Not nearly as confusing as the two different types of Merc. posted by Mitheral at 8:02 AM on December 15, 2009
