So in college a few friends had gas powered blenders for camping/tailgating events. I built myself a blender a few years ago, did the machine work on the aluminum to fit the blender cup, hydro formed the tuned pipe, and fabed up the frame to hold the whole thing upright, to top it off mounted handle bars to it :) Here's the last revision to the whole operation; had to swap engines, blew up the last one over Memorial Day weekend.

For the people on Facebook a little video: (Don't mind the mess on the workbench)

Thanks guys! Atc007 you got it! The handle bars are off of the old mans old ZR800. I narrowed them up so they weren't so wide and wired up the kill switch so it's functional. Being a trike guy I had to have a thumb throttle of sorts, this one was free :)

Building it was fun, tailgating and partying at campgrounds is more fun! You would never imagine how much booze women will drink when it's hidden in fruit and ice!
