The Blind LJ Watchmaker, or Unnatural Selections

I was reading Richard Dawkins' The Blind Watchmaker last night and realized he not only did what I did fairly recently, he also did 20 years ago and in the same chapter what I have been itching to do for years. Instead of making me sad, I realized the LJ could do what he did even better.

By the way, the KillaCycle is all-electric, and the only non-Harley to ever participate in the All Harley Drag Races . . . which explains the very non-electric motor noises in the background.

awesome fireworks display. (You MUST see the video.)

The scoreboard lit up showing: 8.760 @ 145.44 mph
