Those will be pretty hard to top, mate! That first one with the reversed head took me a minute...hmmm somethings different about that motor?

I want that tractor! I saw a picture once of a Norton single ("Big 4") powering a tractor that looked like that. Cool!

And the helicopter looks interesting, too.....all sorts of ways to get hurt, huh?

Cool stuff! I like the 'chopper', too. Betcha it's a handfull tryin' to get it stablized enough to fly. I suppose no more then Igor Sikorsky had with his first 'flyer'. I wouldn't go any higher than 10 feet with it, rubber belt on the tail rotor, one ignition system, just lookin' to plant ya 6' under.

Wasn't that buzzsaw in one of the 'SAW' movie's?
