This was my ride for dropping kids off duties. The kids were young enough not to be embarrassed. The pretentious soccer mum's however were another story, as they looked down at me from their Audi 4x4's...  I'm sure they felt compelled to report me to chyfs...

 

Thats cool man. I live on a coldersak. So it dose some decent use up amd down the street with the kids

Haha so money tight to do cold kiwi.. likely to rain or snow.... so as a that will get me home sorta job. 

Spagitti can cut some holes on bottom black paint hose clamp down should stop water getting in... had it happin before not fun...

So with cold kiwi comming up ment to be going on ol faithfull.

My friend made me this meme hahah.

Sums up my adhd mind frame hahah.

So before we go will be.

1- oil change

2-check all main bolts are tight as she likes to vibrate them loose...

3-probly should look at my pesky break light.

4-sort some sort of carb covers for the night to stop snow. Brob be a old double brown can or somthing. As i run old siv chopped up and hose clamped on.

Needs about 6.5hp of petrol goodness added. Or 18hp++++ if you want extreme like @Muncie

Hhaha its had a small electric motor. Way back when first made it. But it blew haha. But kicks nicely. Perfect for kicking along beside the kids on there bike

So wired up a igntion barrel so has a jey not just a switch.

Put on and wired up indercators

Moved plate 

Not sure if you can call it a update haha. But a bit of tinkering had no tail light so gimmied up a gn light for now to make look alil more togever. Only using for putting up the street with kids. Altho wana have it looking somewhat ok to go to dairy. As my xv1000 chopperish can take ten mins to start hahah. Chucked on a random plate that was in my shed when brought the place so looks alil more there haha. Hate the seat might do a waky cover of some sort. And paint wheels. Amd ive got some indercators for it on there way. Prety keen tp chop of seat brackets ect and make a sorta ruckus style rear. Like the dorky front for now chuur

Ohhh god were do i start...

So this i beleve is a honda im not sure. Not sure it matters anyway hahha.

My friend more or less trew it at me haha. Hadnt gone in a long time. Got home atached a light from my parts box. And a can on start ya bastard down it 2 kicks latter walla.

Not sure where im going with this sexually confussed pile of broken but hay. It runs and works so worth a laugh
