Default Fabbin something crazy

*Josh, and Nick, I want a peice of the minibike and forklift... *



Well, after a really crazy daydream while sleeping at work, I had the idea to go one hgher than the man with the GixxerKart...A Suzuki 600-750 just wouldn't do it, I wanted Litre PLUS on this one, so I got a ZX11 motor, and I wanted to do it with an old beat up childs size one seater....SO, I'm doin it!

Before you respond, the name of this game is FREE. The whole point is to see how fast I can go, for how little I spend. So far, the total tab is 9$, for a spool of welding wire. Frame, motor, and labor is all free, so the hard part will be fabbin up the crazy mind of mine.

Also, yes, I know that I'll most likely get scraped, bruised, cut, hurt, deboned, or possibly killed on this thing, so thank you for the kind thoughts.





We decided it only right to stunt it off before we started hackin.






Can't go wrong with the gorilla hang








Here's some hackin pics, so far its still stock height, with a 13in. stretch on the frame. Within the week, it'll have a 3inche frame drop, brignin the rear axle inside the cage.
