Speedway Bike

[VicXsaN]

Ok, so I have a friend who works extra at a recycling yard, and there he found this Speedway frame:

Now he wants me to build it to a bike using this:

this sounds like a bad ... project so I jump right on, i'll get paid too!

after some "de-mocking" i put on the wheels and a pair of old moped handlebars, and I just thought it looked awesome! Looks like a bobber!

Now im torn, should I make this a bike for him or should I tell him to get an engine and make a motorcycle/moped from it?!

He's talking small gas powered engine. :wink:

okay!
I've decided to not do anything with the frame, nor do a bolt on solution... It's to tricky and the frame is to wide...

I cried myself to sleep with jealousy of you and your friend having this bike in your hands!
The Speedway and Ice racers are what really hooked me on motorcycles!

What if you build a fake Jawa engine with pedals and stuff into the beast? Bottom end holds the crank and the cylinder is insulated to hold ... oh.... ah, I don't know..... beer?! Keep it speedy but make it a bike!

I'm tearing up again,
