Plymouthy Adams Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) bought this as a snicky snack for the upcoming swap meet....... After a bit of spit and polish it now looks like this......awaiting for the turn signal assemblies to arrive...... wild man takes first ride....nothing like the wind in your hair as you cruise the blvd on a chopper Edited October 22, 2016 by Plymouthy Adams 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Coatney Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 You need a handlebar basket and a ding-a-ling bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 handlebar basket will make the little Hog guy up front feel penned up and totally break the little guy's free spirit and as for the bell...man this think has a horn on it that is very loud.....12 volt, lights, t/s, electric starter.....this little thing is quite the package...plus it was a whole lot of fun working it over....

pflaming Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 The man is in full leathers and helmet, the boy has only a helmet, good shoes, and very light clothing. Does he actually stand to ride. INTERESTING. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) That is Sgt Schultz before coming into his stalag guard job in WWII....in all seriousness...I am thinking that the kid on the bike is a stunt gimmick and just a prop....when asked of the child at press conference all he said was "I know nut-sing" Edited October 24, 2016 by Plymouthy Adams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobacuda Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 What it the engine on that thing...and when are you adding the "ape hanger" handlebars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) its a 43 cc two stroke neatly tucked in behind the faux engine...as for the ape hangers...gee guy just how ape-ish you need to go....look at the level of the tank compared to the handlebars now...and for the record, the top part above the tree does fold down quick and easy with no need for tools...allow for quick and easy placing in a van or other similar vehicle which is a boon for Chevy/Ford owner as this may be more dependable of a ride than what they are currently driving....(oooh...burn) oh, on another note.I feel an occasional bath, application of an anti-prespirant would eliminate all need to air dry the pits with the use of ape hangers Edited October 24, 2016 by Plymouthy Adams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobacuda Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Here's a set on a mini-bike for you to consider as you tour the swap meet and hum the tune to "Easy Rider." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 different style for sure and decent enough, but, where the fenders.....??? that a fair weather ride there..and I would guess it would not have any turning manners at all even with the added rake.......remind me of the cars at the shows that are channeled, chop topped etc and the guy driving has his nose in his belly button so to be able to see out the windshield...and on top of that...they put a stupid visor on it and totally compound the situation..rather have a bit of refinement in all my rides and that is just me I reckon trust me there is no shortage of bikes, mini-bikes, scooters and even a mini sailboat at the home front.
