Manky Monkey Motors

Arrived on Sunday courtesy of Afghanman off the Chopperbuilder forum in exchange for some old brit parts I had in the shed. I have to say I'm fuffed as chuck with it and look forward to a many a blast around the estate ;D ;D ;D ::) :-*

 ;D ;D looks like you are going to have sooo much fun. You can take it with you when you go to events to save walking about  ;D

That's great.

There were three guys riding around the HotRod Drags on Puch Mobylettes -the ones you have to wind up with the pedals to get them going.
I think maybe you ought to check that front tyre before you go racing mate.  ;)

There was a guy putting about on one at beauliea (or however you spell it!!) Dont seem to like going up hills much but could be ideal for campsites at rod runs, better than firing up bobcat at 6 am to nip to the loos! ;D Good job you want to pick up the pop!

No need to worry about speed camera's.

Saw this Panther chop at the Drags on Sunday. Seen it before but still looks good.

.

Ahhh Alex's Panther next to my favorite hotrod ;D ;D ;D ;D

A nice pairing in't it.

He had a number in chalk pen on the rear mudgaurd, dunno if he was racing at all?

Didn't see any bikes racing.
Saddlebags was at Santa Pod last weekend & saw drag bikes in action for the first time -wonder if he's upgraded his plans for his trike yet?!

ohhh dear, he will never be the same now he has experienced the wiff of nitro and burning rubber ;D ;D ;D 8)

   whilst at the track recently I have been taking a bit of a look at some of the pit bikes and think that the mighty Black Pig might be well served by having one, or if not it, then me, it's a long way to anywhere when you are pitted in the overspill area. I've just missed a Norman Nippy on EBay for just better than a tenner (running !) but being fair to the seller I couldn't guarantee getting down to Somerset in the next week, so, who's got what ?, something about the same stamp and cost would be good, vertical single, sub 100cc, older the better, running a bonus, to be lovingly bastardised in the shed.   

My boss uses an Easy Rider at shows to get about. Semi auto. Good fun when it works. Prince Philip also uses one. At the carriage driving shows I go to there is everything from Quads to mopeds and motorised push bikes.

Brock I have a nice Honda Camino if that's any good.

He braved the dirt track at the Hayride on the Panther, good to see a chopper on the dirt ;D ;D ;D

Nice photo. How'd he do against the Triumph?
A couple of years ago there was a go-cart style Honda Melody buzzing around the pits at Avon Park. Can't find a photo of it, but it used the back end of the standard frame, (engine, fuel tank, rear wheel), with a plastic school chair sat down low in front of it on a subframe, with a steering wheel & 2 front wheels. Looked like fun.
The "EasY Rider" is a modern copy of the classic Monkey Bike by the way, complete with fold down handlebars.

you got a photo of this ere easy rider then?

For a minute I thought the guy on that white Triumph had a pair of bunny rabbit ears poking out the top of his head!
Taz is bound to have a piccie Pete, but she's away till Sunday.

   thanks T.P., I'm awaiting news of a couple of C90's that are within price range and, just as importantly, 200 yards from the shed, that's how lazy we are ! I'll bear it in mind though.
