Where can you find plans to build one of those?

It is a one-off using a 2 cylinder 16 h.p. b&s engine and a comet cvt clutch.... all the components determined the length.. top speed is about 55 mph.

We are also working on a trebuchet and a soft-ball launching air cannon. Not sure if we will make it to the punkin-chunkin or not.

See, one time I was told I was stupid on the forum... I thought I'd post the videos showing that even stupid people can do interesting things.

I have some construction still photos I can post tomorrow... but there are no plans. I was all done from scratch with existing parts, except for the cvt....

The fork, triple tree, frame, etc., were all home built.

Musta missed that or was it a perceived thing? Who actually built the bike? It looks pretty cool, sounds good too. But I think I would keep it off of the road before somebody gets hurt, you'd get arrested around here for ridin' that on the road.

The frame is bits and pieces of square and round tubing... some of the triple tree was cut on a Bridgeport. The front end headset rake was determined by looking at my motorscooter... as mentioned, no plans... just a project I'd been thinking about since I got the rear tire off a junked sno-cat machine at a local ski area 5-6 years ago.... finally got some time.

I'll be starting my second tear in September after it starts to cool off. This was just squeezed in during the cool morning hours. The paint was by 'a friend'...

I've put out some pics on this site:

The tension between what is good enough and what is beyond that creates the space for character to become our work.
