Port Aransas Texas 10/2011

Down in Port Aransas Texas on the beach this last weekend and for the Rockport Texas Sea Fair. When we came upon this vintage bike that was used in the movie Thunderdome with Mel Gibson. I noticed the vise grips was what caught my eye. And was told that the bike and rider went down a couple weeks ago and its just a quick fix. =r=

Looks as though it has seen some rough riding.

Guess I'll have to watch Beyond Thunderdome again. Looks like a camshaft is being used as a foot peg. What's with the PS'ing?

I don't remember that bike. My guess from looking at it is, the vise grips will be a permanent fix.

And I'm wondering what that means.
