Well I picked up the beast yesterday arvo and before loading it into the Jeep the seller insisted I "
take her for a spin". After giving me instructions on how to start the thing, I took off pedalling like buggery and then dropping the clutch to a "Brap, Brap, Braaaaaaap and I was off. Luckily for me the seller lived in a cul de sac with a park run-off as I soon discovered that it had no rear brake and only the simple rubber block front. The bloody thing gets up and motors...surprising actually but almost zero stopping talent
. It seriously put the wind up me
After unloading it from the car this morning I couldn't resist taling it for a blurt up my street before parking it in the shed. I have to admit that as dangerous as this bloody thing is, it's a shitload of fun and goes much quicker than you'd imagine. Those pissy brakes are a worry though, I can see how people get hurt on them. I'm intending to fit an old pair of Manitou mountain bike forks and Magura hydraulic disc brakes I (and a mate) have laying around the shed which should make it a tad safer. It'll make a good little transporter for buzzing from the dirt track to the swapmeet/MX area at next years HBBB!
