Traci's new ride?



I've thought about doing something similar with the Honda 450 eventually...
'My epiglottis is full of bees!"

That guy has way too much fun.
"So, someone that you don't like very much will end up with your eyes"
Too funny!
Yup, I could have an awful lot of fun with something like that!
I've come to the decision that I'm gonna build something like that
too...hell, it'll probably be easier than trying to hunt down all the
parts I need to restore the Suzi GT550...I probably have most of what I
need lying in the pile of dirt bike corpses behind the back shed.
I'm going to check and see what I'd have to do to make something street
legal. Think about a single seat version of this with a motorcycle engine...
Might be simpler to build it as a trike and just titled it as a motorcycle.
No collision standards to meet, no need for windshield wipers, seat belts,
and that sort of thing.


I talked to a buddy about it, we think I might be able to get away with a
"re-body" title for the Honda. Next option would be kit car. I'll talk to
the tag office about it before starting anything. This is way off in the
future though, probably 1-2 years at least.
well....to be honest, what I'd ~really~ like to do is fit that 550
engine into a 4-wheeler... I had thought of acquiring another Polaris
4x4 like the one I already have, do a little cut an' weld, run the
drive thru the wheeler tranny to retain the reverse, lo-range, and 4WD.
(lets face it, if I have to do any frame stretching, that chain drive
will be easier to stretch than a shaft drive) but howinhell I'm gonna
run the exhaust for that beast....well, I aint planned that far ahead
yet, but if and when I get it put together it'll be a screamer
