Now you see it, now you don't: The mirrored motorcycle that almost disappears when it's moving
Daily Mail ^ | 23rd September 2011 | Mike O'brien

It's the ultimate in minimalism - a reflective aluminium box on wheels from futuristic designer Joey Ruiter.

Two years ago the Michigan-based inventor came up with the stripped bare bicycle named the Super Minimal City Bike, now he's turned to motorbikes.

Ruiter opted to strip the motorbike of all its trappings, no fancy artwork or gleaming chrome.

It would only be fine if you were alright with the sound of random gunshots throughout the day! (My son makes his own ammo is is constantly testing out new rounds. Most of our neighbors are fine with it - they’re shooting, too - but there are two that absolutely hate us.)

Hey, the collander ventilation is an inspired touch, didn’t notice that initially.

I may reconsider.

This guy designed a minimalalist church...as a way to franchise churches. It may not have a steeple, but it’s yellow door can immediately recognized as a place to get help and get connected. The Local Church is a satellite building that can be built anywhere and everywhere in the city: in strip malls, subdivisions and downtown alleys. The people who need church most can find it when and where they need it most.

He might need one nearby if he uses this bike on the road. Hussein Obama will use the idea for more community outreach offices, for his WTF re-election campaign.

My *zoom* feature shows it's really a grater...for disposing of kids who may run out in front of you on the street. :)

I'd like to see this Mini-Me riding that bike. He'd really look like he was floating on air.
