Re: Like A Fat Kid In A Candy Store

Here's my dad on his little cobbled up bike. He found a 250 dirt bike frame in an empty lot and took it home when the numbers came back clear. It sat in the rafters for a decade or so, then he chopped it all up and put the peanut tank on it. Rear wheel/sprocket from a JD lawn tractor, front wheel from a wheelbarrow, back brake is a piece of steel that hinges down pushing on the tire treads.
Now it's got hand painted flames on the tank and a new 6.75HP Harbor Freight special, moves pretty quick, but nothing compared to his '01 Softtail.

you should see them when they spot these:

Now you just need a name ???

"The 5 horse gang"
" The home in time for suppers"
" Aces and 8 horses"

Maybe a play on the original Hells Angels name (the Pi$$ed off Bast@&ds),
Perhaps " The sawed off Bast@&ds"?

That is a nice one! Strip it, paint it, put on a 5 hp with a Torq-a-verter trans (instead of centrifugal clutch) and hang on!

Thinking more like a 20 hp engine, comet clutch and a belt. Life would be good.

I don't have pics of mine, but it started looking like that. Now it's a chopper with a 3ft fork, ape hangers, banana seat and sissy bar. Moved up from the 2hp briggs to a 5hp with a 3" straight pipe, and with your weight right over the rear wheel, it'll pull into a wheelie while shooting a blue jet flame out of the exhaust.


Just don't expect to be able to steer when you set the front wheel back down. Ask me how I know....

Sadly Comet brand clutches are starting to dry up, ever since their parent company Tecumseh folded...

Plenty of Chinese alternatives of course...
