Built to run the whole six days of the ISDT on just the one tank of fuel Lumpy as it turned out was a complete and utter failure after falling off the stand and killing it's rider. Sadly as due punishment Lumpy was promptly retired never to be seen or heard of again.....well..so the story goes..
...but wait! ;D Lumpy Returns!!

boredom and box of bits knows no bounds ::)

Crikey, ??? at least it'll pass the noise test ;)
-
:o
-
mmmm Paul, just the response I was looking for :D it's the forks isn't it! they're just a tad too long :-\ ;D
-
doc i carnt put it into words ,to express it properly, let me think on it for a couple off weeks
-
Gee whizz!
Look at that, it's certainly.....................................errrrr, lumpy! :o
-
Doc, Doc, Doc, I think you've got too much time on your hands. Contemplating a new flat track class perhaps? Ram-air, drag the pipes on the track, feet up style.... would be a sight.
-
Hmmmm yes wellllll urmmmm
it definately is ;D ;D
-
Geeees Doc , I spent most of me afternoon on a buffer and had the shits after an hour. How the hell do you get things so Bling ???
Is it a Gt 125 or 185 .
-
jeez Doc, you know I love your work. Normally that is ;D
It's sorta-borderline got that look of something that would turn up on ebay and everyone would be mildly (or violently) amused by.
Seriously though, it may have some potential. I think the guards are the achilles heel at the moment. The front one needs to be a tad smaller, and the rear one is too flat, needs a bit more curve to it.
A bit less tank wouldn't hurt ;D
Anyway, you'd better get it sorted soon. The rain has to stop sometime and you won't have time to scratch yourself.

and you'll need to swap the log for a pinecone

MX, you think it's lumpy from the side ::) to use The Fonzie's famous phrase you oughta 'Sit On It!' It's even lumpier looking down from above and it's not an isometrical lumpy like a BMW it's all over the shop..a big lump here a bigger lump there :o I've purposely tried to make it as fugly as practicle so as to disguise the true potent performer that lurks within and
yes Oldfart, it's the BIGBLOCK 185 mill not the piddly 125 ::) if you're going to build these bikes you can't go building it to conform to any sort of rule book as it's way above that! :P
Pete, I went out and did my mowing this morning and then I came home and put this together this arv :) not a lot of time wasted ;) Still needs the front sprocket swapped, a chain, 2x pods and a battery and it can be parked for the next millenium. This isn't the dirt track model btw, this is the 'lecky start' ISDT vinduro special Lumpy 8)
Mainline thanks for the mudguard observations, I'll shall take that onboard and refer it to the styling department ;) as for the tank being a bit bigger than regular well there's good reason for that. It hides the lumps when in the riding position ;D
on a final note, you people are too kind and also a little too gullible ;) this thing is so frickin' hideously fugly the real reason it was banned was because it sent everyone blind! :D
-
I like it - in a weird, twisted, perverted, deviant sort of way ;D
-
im with rossvickicampbell,its better than the late model suzuki rmx 450 hill climb bike with 1000cc road bike motor i seen on telly the other night.i want one cheers gary
-
Mainline good news, I found the TS100ER front guard is the same deal just smaller in all dimensions and it looks so much better ;) if it were a snake it would have bitten me! stands to reason if I run '80 TS100 front wheel, '72 TS125 triples and '74 TM125 forks that the '80 TS100 guard would be the obvious choice :P I've extended the rear as there are 2 dirty big frame rail bits that stick out the back and the guard has to go over them not between them like normal so I can't really deviate from the style fitted :-\ will see how the revised appearance pleases the optics in the morning.
it could well be just your bike Wasp though it's missing a wheel and some other minor attachments :-\ if it didn't take up more space I'd near consider building a sidecar for it as that is truly what it needs to be the ultimate!!
I am gearing up to build a replica ('s) but she'll/he'll/it'll be the muther of all lumpies and potential buyers will have to wait in turn..hopefully the new improved model will have not 2 but 3 transverse cylinders for a swept capacity of a whopping 380cc!! Just have to find a donor first :P funny how I feel no remorse gutting the old roadies but someone somewhere if they knew would probably be spazzing :D :D
-
I really like hybrid motorcycles and I have seen some inspiring creations.... but why did you colour co-ordinate your Lumpy masterpiece with the wheelie bin? :D
Don't park it too near the bin Doc... or the council might take it away... ;) :D ;D
-
Doc I don't know what these guys are going on about with your little Suzi twin there. You don't hear too many people bagging DT2s but I went riding my DT2 (trials tyres, 19" front wheel, rubber footpegs, road gearing, full road rego lighting) one day with a mate on his GT380 and he went everywhere I went and he looked more comfortable that I felt. ;)

:D :D :D I believe you David!! many years ago my mate and I would hop on our bikes to go trail riding out the back of Dayboro religiously every Sunday morning..nothing unusual about that I guess excepting he had an ol' GT860 deadcat and I had my Z650 :D :D his deadcat had more ground clearance than me but I had more steering lock and come to the open fire trails the 6fiddy kawa ruled the roost. More than once I flattened the 4-1 collector box but eh..fun fun fun and we never had to push them home once!!! ;D
-
So you're a Dayboro rider too hey?
Our ritual Sunday ride was to cruise out to Samford (refuel), up the PEI road to Mt Glorious, much riding on fantastic hills in what is now National Park, down through the Lacey's Creek trials property to the shop at Dayboro (refuel and lunch), then out to Mt Pleasant for more fantastic hills, back to Dayboro for more fuel, then back over Mt Glorious (via the road this time) to home. One notable thing was that despite discussing how many times people had fallen off at one notorious wet clay spot on the PEI road, at least one rider would fall off on each ride (adrenaline? testosterone? lack of skill?)
-
i used to go trail riding at whalan in sydneys west when i was a young fella on a mates gt 250 great fun except it didnt handle the bumps to well with collapsed front forks.cheers gary
-
:D it would seem there is a place in vmx history for the 2 stroke twins ;)
here's an updated pic and this is how it'll probably stay except I will add a chain, some airfilters and a tail light when I find one :P then I just need to wire it all up and she's ready..for what I don't know! :D

Red and blue its the newcastle knights colurs make a good mascot for the team :o
-
Mick, 250 or 450? if 250 then I have no idea but if it's a 4fiddy then a dirt track sidecar springs instantly to mind ;)
god, I haven't looked at my creation today but I just caught a glimpse in the above photo and it is truly a fugly woftam. I love it when a plan comes together ;D
-
I couldn't help it ;D
