So, I thought "what if someone was revived with old motorcycle parts as a head?". Other versions of this were darker, but I lightened it up a bit with the pamphlet title.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, thanks for the feedback.<BR/><BR/>Also, double bonus points to SzélsőFa for getting the reference in the title.
