Stupidity at its finest

[deorman]

Great job! Straight forward and to the point, while at the same time unique. As far as what you put into it, a commercial product of similar nature and quality would probably go for somewhere in the $900-1200 range new in the crate, IMO.



Hey where are the fenders?

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Still kinda iffy on them. I think it will be hard to find some that wide
that fit the contour of the tire. Am going to swing by a trailer place.
They say they have a 12'' wide one online but not sure it will work.
Glad you like it.

Thanks Deuce. It turned out pretty good. It was a just to kill time
project. I need to build a submarine or something useful. lol

Build a street legal motorcycle?

 

[Uncle Stretch]

I have had motorcycles all my life. I sold my Harley and Valkyrie not
too long ago. Watching the news and on a highway I always rode a
couple hit an alligator and it killed them both. I decided it was time
to hang up my spurs. Won't ride anymore. Don't mind dying its the
sliding along on the concrete at 100mph that got me worried.

How about...

With your skills/tools, It may be a very fun project... not too far from what you just finished

 

[Uncle Stretch]

I really have no place to build something that big or anything to do
with it once its built. In Texas they make it hard to title something
you build yourself. I built a Honda once with a hardtail frame and
had all the paperwork right but it took me a year to get a title.

Great work! It's done so well, it looks like it could have been something that a cool dad would have ordered from a catalog back in the 70s minibike heyday. Love those fat tires!!!

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Thanks Kingfish, It turned out pretty good for not really ever building anything
with motors. Its sturdy for sure. lol

 

[Uncle Stretch]

No sound but a little clearer video.

It goes far faster than I thought it would, very cool! Starting to think I need one of these, just to drag the wheelie bins up the the main road... Well, that is the excuse I am telling myself...

Luke.

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Luke it won't pull a wheelie but its as fast as it will go in 5 feet.
Pretty fun. Might could gear it a little taller and loose a little on
the take off but gain top end. Guess it really doesn't matter.

 

[deorman]

High speed and short wheels on a 2 wheeler aren't much fun anyway.
Hey, if you all ever get snow down there you can snatch cars off the curb for 20 bucks a pop.

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Not sure what kind of pulling power a belt driven scooter could muster.
It will jump off pretty good with my big seat on there though.
