Moto Chariot Santa is Best Santa, I Won't Be Taking Any Questions

This is clearly an example of next-level elven engineering.

What's the most important thing you remember learning about Santa? It's that he needs to get presents to the good boys and girls by any means necessary, right? That's how I remember it, anyway. Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat ,nor gloom of night stays Santa from the swift completion of his appointed rounds. Or maybe that's the US Post Office; I forget.

But what do you do if Santa crashes on your property, and he needs some swift mechanical assistance? Obviously, that's when you call up some buddies and you build him a whole new contraption to get him back up in the sky where he belongs. After all, you don't want to be the one who keeps Santa from delivering presents, do you? I didn't think so.

For this year's Christmas, the guys at Cars and Cameras got some buddies with a pair of pre-yoked pit bikes to help them build Santa's Ultimate Moto Chariot. It might not be much, what with its pair of 110cc pit bikes pulling the hastily constructed wooden sleigh hither and thither along the crispy trails, but it's the thought that counts. Right? Right.

Santa even gets a sweet bench seat in his new sleigh, and it's big enough for two. Bonus!

On his test ride, this Santa doesn't even slow down before pitching presents wildly at passersby. It's not clear how well this would work for volume delivery, but it does at least provide a reasonable proof of concept. Maybe a t-shirt cannon would be a good bet next time, stuffed either with shirts or possibly little stuffed animals? Unclear.

What do you think?

The steering surprisingly doesn't look as shaky as you might at first expect upon seeing Santa's chariot in its full glory. It's sketchy for sure, but maybe a little extra Christmas magic made the finished result come together a little smoother than you probably thought it would at the beginning of this video. And really, isn't that all you can ask for?

Holidays are for spreading cheer, doing stupid stuff with your friends, and putting a smile on everyone's face where you can. Here's hoping that's how you're spending all of yours, well into the New Year.
