Gas on this thing. My first bike was very much like this bike here. My Dad told me that the pedals were on the front wheel(like this one) and it had a metal seat. He said I would ride the damn thing Buck Naked! My boy can't walk yet but he is working real hard at it. I'm sure when he starts walking, he will start ride'n! My boy rules...

My boy turns 6 months on the 25th. Time to start baby-proof'n...

Did anyone go? Let's see some pic's.

I picked this up off C/L here a few weeks back for $100. Stock it did almost 5 mph! I re-geared the thing for max top speed and de-governed it. I used an old bicycle brake lever for a foot throttle. Now it is scary fast! Not because of wicked speed but because the steering is so sloppy. It's like trying to drive a big rig on ice. It's so out of control that I haven't been able to pin it in 5th. I've done quick blips in 3rd and 4th and almost hit park cars. I think the thing will do 40+ mph! It has a Kawasaki 540cc OHV thumper engine. Stock it was 17hp but now with the added RPM's, I'm sure it's more like 20. If I can tighten up the steering it will be fun. I'm going to make a Youtube video tomorrow...
