nerfbat Posted October 13, 2013 Report Posted October 13, 2013 the day i got her plans are something along those lines more to come Quote
nerfbat Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Posted October 13, 2013 driving her home from Burpengary last Monday night Taky speedo Yoshi pipe purchased some Pro Tapers, custom bar risers and grips first up. not sure if a fan Quote
nerfbat Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Posted October 13, 2013 took her for a Monkey Bike cruise today. clocked over 100ks Stenzel and Sambo trying her for size Crossy's Big Chrome Gorilla and Sambo's J1/Z Murphy's ck pub for a coldie ordered new controls right and left, a gorilla tank, a sidestand(as mine falls over) and bar end mirrors so far Quote
B-Lugg Posted October 13, 2013 Report Posted October 13, 2013 That's super cool. How safe does it feel to ride? Quote
nerfbat Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Posted October 13, 2013 thanks mate yeah its great around town, if a bit cramped compared to the scoot and Chaly also, it gets hairy when you are over 80, with the 8" wheels and standard wheelbase definitely plan on at least a +6cm Swing arm, and 10" rims and a disc brake front end conversion like i did on the chaly, would be good too Quote
orangeLJ Posted October 13, 2013 Report Posted October 13, 2013 holy crap. I still can't believe you can legally register those! hahaha. They are TINY! How does it feel when you get passed by something larger than a smart car? much crosswind :P Quote
rian Posted October 14, 2013 Report Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Would you get outta here with your weird motorbikes already, geeez. But really, it's cool as. I've wanted one of these for a few years now, they look like so much fun. Edited October 14, 2013 by rian Quote
rian Posted October 14, 2013 Report Posted October 14, 2013 But what happened to the Chaly? Did you sell it to get the this? And how does it go with the Lifan? It looks like it would flip over and soon as you turned the throttle lol. Quote
nerfbat Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Posted October 14, 2013 holy crap. I still can't believe you can legally register those! hahaha. They are TINY! How does it feel when you get passed by something larger than a smart car? much crosswind :P haha yeah mate. it feels so cramped compared to the scoot or chaly and its funny, coming down mt kynoch towards town, there was a strong breeze blowing randomly over the hill, at one point, it blew me into the next lane...! Would you get outta here with your weird motorbikes already, geeez. But really, it's cool as. I've wanted one of these for a few years now, they look like so much fun. lol, same mate. my uncle and his kids had them when we were all growing up, unregistered, he used one for his tow bike at the speedways at times. always wanted one, but never thought much of getting one, til i saw Joel with one on here, a year or so ago But what happened to the Chaly? Did you sell it to get the this? And how does it go with the Lifan? It looks like it would flip over and soon as you turned the throttle lol. honestly, its scary with the current setup. they are an over square bore, so don't rev that well, but TORQUE.....omg... i have to lean over the bars when taking off at any sort of 'power', or it pops the front wheel up. I'm sure with the gearing sorted and the longer swingarm, it will help tho got a call from Honda, 3 boxes are waiting for me to pick up.! had no time to get there today, huge day at work. can't wait Quote
nerfbat Posted November 12, 2013 Author Report Posted November 12, 2013 passed RWC and now in my name the guy who did the test, takes my little one out on the road, comes back after 5 mins and says: "I had more fun on this, than my big rig inside" so i took a pic Quote

PHATKE20S Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 These things are so retro cool.....i really think i need to trade in my Bug Vibe scooter & get me a Z50 Quote
nerfbat Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Posted November 14, 2013 doo eeeet Doug E just realised i havent posted build info between the postman arriving, and getting her RWC so, i got 3 packages in the mail. 1 black gorilla tank 1 custom bars and riser blocks new switch blocks for the controls fitted it all up and i reckon it looks tough as..! visited the Time Lord we got a huge camp/cruise coming up at the end of this month. got to do a full tune and service on her before then Quote
nerfbat Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Posted November 15, 2013 a couple more recent pics loving this rig..! with the recent wet weather here, i havent had much of a chance to ride her this week. spent this arvo mounting the seat properly, to suit the Gorilla tank, and then tried to start her, but she wouldnt.. ran out of light to fault find hope it was just the rain, etc.. will try again in the light tomorrow. *now, where is that can of 'Start ya Bastard'?* Quote
