here's a pic of the Deckson Demon 8) $50 for the roller (top $ I know but I had to have it! ::)) the vintage B&S engine I already had in stock, I have a throttle cable and I have footpegs (suzuki pegs at that!) so now I just need to find me a centrifugal clutch, fix the flat front tyre and I'll be in business..or at least the local surgery may be in business :D

a sick puppy eh! ;D

Doc,
Your local lawnmower shop should be able to get you a centrifugal cluch.
I think Bynorm or one of the other after market suppliers have them.
-
thanks Viper,I should ask yocally as the clutch I've my eyes on at present is a US made item on fleabay for $89 delivered :-\ seems like a good thing but there's a kart shop about 5 minutes from here so I'll poke my head in and have a sniff around tomorrow. A new chain would be nice too as I don't think a bit of oil is going to save what's there.. in my whole entire existance I have never ridden 1 of these wild contraptions so it should be an experience to say the least...even if near 40 years after the fact :D
-
Doc - one of these caused my most significant injury of my bike "career" - couldn't work the pull starter so jump started it but forgot to jump on and got pulled behind - not a nice picture!!!
Don't forget the footpeg springs ;D

they the right forks ? i though that had travel :)
-
No Freaky not all of them, I had one off these as my first bike with Victa engine and the two (elder) brothers had the ones with fork travel and Kirby 2 strokes with jack shafts and Mercury clutches which in 73 was the hot setup. We used to run at Mount cotton and North Brisbane junior club when it was still at Samsonvale if you go back that far Doc? :D

Had one of these in the guise of a Grand Prix also running a Briggs and Stratton. It had a habit of throwing the drive chain once the bike attained its peak velocity (about 60k's I reckon but seemed a lot faster :o) and locking the back wheel up solid - I learn't alot about sliding and gravel rash. I also learn't a bit about electricity. To stop the engine you were required to push a metal tab against the top of the spark plug to earth the electrics - which was all well in theory but often led to nasty moments when your finger acted as the earth instead. :'(
-
all these stories are getting me a little anxious I can tellya! :o maybe it'd be better as a static display ::)
mental note to self...fit a real killswitch, buy new chain, check life insurance is paid and be very very frightened :D
-
I love it Doc,
and I think I know just the little pilot for that one.
-
I had a Deckson GP with a Suzuki 80 step thru engine and it was probably the scariest thing I ever rode.

There was a MX track at Samsonvale? Whereabouts, I may be living on it ;D
-
I remember those grips very plush, and room for a mirror, you may be able to rego it Doc... ;D
-
Sheesh, first USD forks now girders. What's the place coming too?
-
Love it Doc - nice change to the big bikes, 8)
you been reading the VMX magazine with the OLD BOYS & THEIR SMALL TOYS article ;D
cheers
-
thanks for the positive words everyone :) as we all know, the devil makes work for idle hands ;D it's another stop gap while I hunt up some bits for the TS90
(http://osybig.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p5bA-RBXiXhSl9sg8lxjQLGzaMLy9kpcP-YghQWwTb_w6EUbr0_McWKHvE6PjIp7G7lIyEQP2pof8wMV7WdgvKkO-UE3eOnVf/17.jpg)
which...ironically, is also a stop gap project :-\
at least until the Nats when the last of my TS250's arrives from the west thanks to the WAVMX guys ;) then the real projects begin...
btw, missed the last 2 VMX mags due to shit not happening so I'm sight unseen of the Old Boys and Small Toys article..I shall go give myself 50 lashes right now! ;)

Only if you have a house boat Mainline it will be now covered by about 10 meters of water cause they build the dam on it!!

Alison, the colour is a cheapy basic Scarlet Red from Supercheap. I stuffed up, the tank is fine but I used silver not white as a base coat on the sidecover and it's come out a poxy shade of pinkish redish orange and not at all like the tank and not at all like I'd wanted so I'll redo it over the weekend in 'international orange' which is more orange and closer to Suzuki colours ;) the original TM/TS orange is the same as the front guard on the bike beside as it's a NOS item ;)
been hunting around today, I can get onto a clutch for $100 locally but it's 3/4" shaft and not 5/8 as I need. At $100+ the need to machine a bush I can get a 5/8 clutch direct from the US for about $55US all up. It's a shame but nowhere local can do a price anything like that :-\
-
I have an imaculate chrome exhaust pipe for a TS90 that I can bring to the Nats if you are interested.
-
You bet I do FireKwacka! ;D While there be nothing at all wrong with my normal 'coloured' pipe I do like the later chrome pipes better for their bling effect 8) SOLD!! and thanks!
this topics all over the shop so I may as well mention I maybe in need of a later model cylinder also if anyone has one. Reboring is fine. The '70 model is a cast iron job and mine is near stuffed from rust pitting so I was thinking of hunting a regular steel lined alloy cylinder from a later model TS90. I'll place this want in the wanted section also ;)
