GI's disarm bomb in bike, rebuild into camp chopper!

Our buddy John sent us this while stationed overseas. If there was ever a better Choppertown bike we've yet to see it...

"Back in 2012 I was in Helmand province, Afghanistan disarming roadside bombs. One particular device was concealed inside a Maiwand motorcycle. My team made it safe, took it back to our patrol base and commenced to chopping it up with a sawz-all. It had no brakes, no clutch, and a jockey shifter. You had to kick it over in neutral, roll on the throttle and jam it into gear. After adding the apes we had to jimmy rig a throttle cable out of communications wire. This thing was sketchy as fuck but always good for a rip around the dirt and rock base. Hope you guys get as must enjoyment out of it as we did. Here's some before and after pictures."
