	I threw this together last week. It is just as a but of a pi$$ about for the summer, which one day last week me and a mate from school thought would be funny to build. Live rear axle, huge rears and a little front wheel will make cornering a joy ;D, and it has no brakes or throttle linked up yet. The gear ratio is 5.2:1 and the engine is a small 75cc 2hp 4 stroke Suffolk Punch cylinder mower engine. Got it painted over the last few days, and the engine isn't on it because the coil/magneto which makes the spark is getting replaced. I'll collect the engine at the weekend. 20 inch apehangers top it off eh?! ;D

	Nice, I like the foot pegs on the forks, you can steer it with your hands full banana the frame and drop it on the ground for the lulz

	Tested it now. Great fun, live axle keeping things interesting. Cocks a wheel on cornering and hasn't got brakes yet!

Not sure about plans, I just built it as I went, but the engine is 2.5hp ish and 75cc 4 stroke. And yes, they're front bicycle forks.
