Lightningfest III Pit Bikes

[Sixpipes]

OK. The big thing this year seems to be pit bikes so I went and bought this on eBay as a starter project for $55.99 (not running). Post up your pit bike if you have one. :cool:

[Mark #2]

Wow, very custom:
Hard tail
Ape hangers
and 2 coil overs(coils over nothing):D

[Cammin4V]

My dad actually buy's and rebuilds Honda Trail 50's 70's and 90's. I think thats what they are called? He build a Trail 50, and customized it black and chrome. Its like one of those little pocket bikes people buy, except its a sturdy bike that goes about 45 mph. Ill try and post up a few pictures of it.

It looks good in the back of the black L on chrome. :beer:

Hard tail

Coil over nothings,

[Flats Man]

If I was a betting Man, I would bet that Sixpipes will be a lot faster than Tobbun! lol

Cool, what is that? Specs?
I like it.

[Ivanhoe_Farms]

I like it.

Mark,

It is 107CC 4-speed, 4.5 inches of ground clearance, 53 inch wheelbase,
33 inches high at the handlebars.

It was assembled yesterday, and Flatsman has already been racing it.:nana2

It is a rigid suspension so you get the real feel of the road:rolleyes:

PS: I have plans for Sixpipes too knana

Is this a one off or a kit?
If it is a kit I would like a link.
Power adders possible?
I think it is sweet.:tu:

This is where my bike was acquired.:tu:

My recommendation is to be patient -- you can get a deal:beer:

Now to mod the bike to be competetive with Sixpipes and Flatsman --- oh the competition thing

But this may end up being Razor's wheels, I have found something even more interesting:d:d

[Silver_2000]

must have been pricey to ship from CA

[Sixpipes]

I feel in all fairness that we must consider having a couple of classes for the pit bikes. Multispeed versions are obviously in a different class than single speed when it comes to performance. As a matter of fact, I'm not really sure what constitutes a "pit bike". If it is a motorcycle that you ride in the pits, I have an R6 in the garage (for sale BTW) that would do rather nicely on the track (like high 11's). So I am open to suggestions with respect to Pit Bike classes. Power adders allowed. :evil

Gen I - single speed
Gen II - multispeed

What if the multispeed bikes only used one gear???:cool:

Back when I was a member of the corvette club in Denton, there was a guy named Sandy Shephard who had a pit bike which looked a lot like sixpipes bike , had a Mac 10 on it burning nitro, and he ran high 10s in the quarter, so gears do not necessarily make it faster:beer:

[T Hogg]

Heres my pit bike. Just need to find out how to put a wet shot on her and she be ready.


Lets get it on.:d

Funny which one works at the big software company again ???:rll:

Not sure about straight line performance, but I could definetly take those guys in an autocross event. :D

Given enough time (kids not overdue for thier bath and wife not standing over shoulder reminding me...) I could have figured it out...

Besides, the old man spends a little more time on these boards than I do... :) I did know how to get the picture there, and next time will know how to do the video... :)

But I can definatly appreciate the irony of it all... :)

That would be the 3rd generation Glenn boy... aka Little T.

LMAO --- what was that --- an IRATE mosquito or something. That sounded to the world like a weedeater engine with a bad plug.:rll:

But I have to give you styling points:tu:

I think I am going to have to mod my Pit Bike to slow down with you:cool:

In the words of PTI.... "knucklehead" with an engine puller for this engine:rll:

I haven't succumbed to the pit bike thing as it looks like a G only event at this point. I wish I still had my old go-cart motors at this point, they are still sitting in my dad's basement I think, not that they would run today. Dual 2 stroke 100cc Chrysler outboard engines, these used to be the thing for go carts a very very long time ago.

The little screws labeled #33 were the biggest problem. They would come loose and get into the piston.

[Mark #2]

Doug,
Are the foot holds set up so that you ride left foot forward or right foot forward? I can't really tell from the pictures. I can only ride left front forward.

Do you have skateboarding experience if not, I have many that you can practice on.
Otherwise I tend to agree with 6er

If I can't get in it or wrap my legs around it..........I'm not riding it (insert your own joke). I also won't try to ride anything larger than me with a mind of its own. That initially applied to horses, but in later years I also adapted that to my college dating habits. :eek2:

I will admit that I thought you where suppose to sit on the darn thing, before I read Marks post about the skateboard. I spent a couple minutes staring at the pic trying to figure out where to put my arse on it:o .

[03LightningRocks]

I have one for sale. I bought it from Adam, but I am way to heavy for it. In Louisianna I damn near killed myself riding it. I didn't actually wreck, but when i threw my foot down to keep from hitting the wall, it cracked a bone in my ankle that is just now healing up.

I haven't been back on the damn thing since then.

Make me an offer if anyone wants it.

The color is original. Disassembled for powder coating...black of course. Maybe a custom seat cover, but I'm not planning on spending much money. :cool:

Just send him a pm... He looks for any excuse to go fishing... although he doesn't have a tour business, he can get people into some great fish. He is in the Tampa area.
