Is it just me or does this have no visible drive from that engine to those wheels? |

Shame, 'twould be quite a cool little barkin' mad trike  I have a couple of gently rusting XS250s somewhere if you're foolhardy enough to want XS bits. They are pretty far gone though. |

yeah heinkel, great scoots but let down a bit by the looks. alot of scope for stuffing larger engines in there as that whole back end hinges up

I need to find an ace picture I had of two Bosozoku bikers sat on a bike with vertical exhaust like the cars, it was like 2 metres of stainless steel pointing up into the sky! Looked crazy.

Hirst, along with the huge exhausts, you will prob also find a large number of boso bikes with fairings held aloft about 2 feet higher than they should be. I wish I had the nads to do a boso bike in this country...

phatphord in da house:
2 wheel j-coolThis stuff is great!!!!!! Just the "fix" I need after a weekend in the workshop with huge pieces of paper drawing up the latest project 1:1 scale and trying hard to figure out what to really do with it, I think I got stuck 100 times, I used several cases of Tuborg Classic, marker pens and some friends that came over to cheer me on (and drink Tuborg)..... This stuff @ bratstyle.com is just sooooo cooooool, the look with black frames, short forks, fat tires, minmal non-billet-bolt-on-junk and with what ever motor is just so Japanese, a bike with this type of look in the US or Europe would be a "Rat Bike" but these are real clean and smooth, I can't say how much I like it and how good it feels seeing this coming into work on a grey & rainy Monday morning (NO internet to disturb me at home).... Maybe you all can be of some help to me?  The latest DP Race Tech project is semi-secret since it will be first shown at Custom Bike Show Norrtälje, first show of the 2007 AMD shows so I don't want to leak to much but I can say that it's based on a mid 60's Jawa Speedway bike (yes will run on methanol) and the look has always been something real clean, simple, Hot Rod influenced, black on black and after this with some "Brat Styles" (just hate the name) influnece, for this I need a name, I have have Speedy, Speedyster, Wayster on the wall but none really looks good, what do ya all say? ?? DP says: Get me the perfect name and a case of Tuborg Classic can be picked up at Mosta Hill....

THAT'S GREAT!!!!!! For more than one reason, I live on a farm (lot's a s*it around here), my crew Skitskraj MC translated into English is "scared sh*tless" so it's a deffinte option, only ting that talks against it is the bike will be more street than speedway but I'll have an open mind about it.....

What about BratSh*t, Much like people exclaim "ratsh*t" but with the "Brat" influence.. etc.
I don't like it much myself, but an option is an option.

How cool is that site ;D Cheers for that, I`m a longtime fan of the Japanese style of 2 wheelers.... .back to what a bike should be 2 wheels .....engine....... frame then its all about combining them in the purest simplest way possible  one of my all time favourite bikes is the Mooneyes.jp bike created by Chicara But some of these are thinking way out in leftfield  ;D This I really really love..... just because its such an unusual donor bike for a bobber/chop  Really getting my 2 wheeled mojo back in a big way now  Which is dangerous as I still have the Kadett to finish and teh Fiat to do...... Janeys Goose needs stripping and detailing too before the spring ;D Looks like I will be busy for the forseeable  |
