Mop Head

I remember it coming up for sale the first time. Looks like the lounge couches are right where I ordered a whatever burger they would give me and a brown lemonade.

Just because the bike is capable of dope adventures doesn't mean every ride needs to be one. I see a dude commuting one of these sometimes in Tauranga. Any ride counts. You could even imitate a GS rider and do a coffee tour of town for shits and giggles. Great photos. Keep it coming!

Small bike enthusiast I may be. But I have ridden a lot of hooley doovidsuns and would trade again. Glad to see you with this @cletus. So tell us the plans, no one buys one of these and keeps it as they found it.

Can download 5 documents a day on 4-stroke.net Good luck!

@keltik I'd just like to say this thread single handedly got me hooked watching a couple of sailing youtuberers and it's pretty interesting. Watching a guy take his 30ft Sloop from USA over to Hawaii, French Polynesia, then Fiji, here, now in Aussie etc has made me realise I have zero balls. (Sailing Triteia). Appreciate all these updates and the trip with your brother looked insane. Beautiful photos. Keep it up!

This dude gets 3D printed intake manifold made for his Sachs builds and it's quite cool. https://hustlerminibikes.nz/collections/specialised-parts/products/sachs-km48-alloy-intake-manifold

I've ridden a few goldwings and at one point got to spend a decent amount of time with a Goldwing Trike. Whilst it was dead stock I still would take that thing for a blat every chance I could. Blitzing the throttle in a full lock turn lit up the wheels with ease and I would proceed to piss a large amount of cheese. Can't even imagine how cool it will feel to drive this thing when it's together! You make magic happen mate. Seriously impressive.

Interesting yarn and can't wait to read the next bits. Conscious of not spamming up a good thread in the making but I've had a bit of experience with bike auctions from Japan and have the same experience with grades. Always tried to bid on bikes in the 4-4.5 range. Sometimes they would be amazing, sometimes utter shit and obviously graded by someone thats legally blind. Then again I've had 3.5's turn up in amazing condition. There was no rhyme or reason in the 2-3 years I was involved with it - as you have we just had to hope and pray based on photos. Just reading that had me excited a couple of times and deflated an equal amount, I can only imagine how it must have felt for you. Thanks for taking the time to write about the process so far.

Similar but kinda not. The dude that posted it makes tonnes of custom displays for the digital dash he uses.
