"EPIMETHEUS was the Titan god of afterthought, the father of excuses"
 
Actually the rest of the story is educational as well! As those of us married and divorced have found to our cost. -- Not that Im bitter mind :)


EPIMETHEUS was the Titan god of afterthought, the father of excuses. He and his brother Prometheus were given the task of populating the earth with animals and men. However, Epimetheus quickly exhausted the supply of gifts allotted for the task in the equipment of animals, leaving Prometheus' masterpiece, mankind, completely helpless. As a result the Titan brother was forced to steal fire from heaven to arm them. Zeus was angered by this theft and ordered the creation of Pandora, the first woman, as a means to deliver evil into the house of man. Despite the warnings of his brother, Epimetheus happily received her as his bride, but as soon as she arrived she lifted the lid of a jar entrusted her by the gods, releasing a plague of harmful daimones (spirits) to trouble mankind.
 
There is so much to be learned from these guys. Damn they look like they are having fun!
 
Just amazing!

Classic Heath Robinson style stuff - those two could build a space rocket if they wanted to, over a cup of tea and sandwich. Probably.

All I can say is that I hope they don't put that gorilla motor in a 1950's Vincent frame, with 1930's drum brakes. There are cheaper ways to kill yourself.
 
Its makes like 90 hp per 800cc. I'm sure they have the frame handled as don't get away with those power levels over looking much. Giggled like little girls, hehehe.
