I had a few bits left over from the shifter kart project, so I thought I'll quickly throw a little "runabout" together. Still have to finish a few bits (footpegs, wiring, seat, wheelie bars etc.), but it's coming together nicely.
Powered by a "mighty" 125cc, 8bhp, 4 speed and a 75cm wheelbase for agile turning.
Maybe we can start a new class at the auto-X......

But why is it every time I hear "wheelie bars" I start thinking Rice? :lol:

With the short wheelbase it was either wheelie bars or a strap-on skidpad on my bum. I think wheelie bars are the better option.
Btw, it's not "rice", It says "Harley Davidson" on the motor.
