Oh man I hope my brake lines self-install themselves on my bike tonight. This looks so easy to do.

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.

Noah needs a better tripod and a shutter release. Still amazing though!

I almost didn't watch it either, but it grew on me. I liked the detail in the individual parts crawling around. Cool tribute to the original stop motion music video of the song.

I was expecting a bicycle.
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."

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.)

Just gonna say here, I am so down with the idea of a fixed-gear motorcycle.

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.

Needs more pistons. And valves.

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!

Yup. And man, has it lead to some amusingly confused conversations between my cyclist sweetie and my motorcyclist self.

Not nearly as confusing as the two different types of Merc.
