Is it a Suzuki?

You've probably got that stud out by now but if not, I'd just weld a nut on top.

Yep. Reckon the cab will fit on that Isuzu of yours? 

Probably. Is your chassis in a state? I was mulling an EV conversion but I've heard certs for commercial vehicles are a ballache.

Following with interest. Is it an FG?

It was older than that.

It looked kind of like this but with a big rectangular seat, wide tank and wide tyres. No indicators and 90 4t.

It was definitely a Honda. A bit bigger and chunkier than the Suzuki with a big rack on the back.

I learned to ride on my uncle's farm bike. It was a 1980ish 90cc Honda with fat tyres like on the front of 3 wheelers. 4 speed all upshift, it topped out at about 60kph. 

Anyone know what it was?

Just here for 420

It used to be a thing to do the ton. Then the 80s happened and learner bikes could do the ton. These days people area all "that things only 60hp, you wouldn't want to take it on the open road"

You can probably blame California for that. I wonder what the 300 will do with a pipe and a chip.

My 79 250z was 20kw/20Nm so they made some progress from there.

One more beer and it would have been mine.

It was an older dereg one in wairarapa with missing fairings. Sold for 675.

I almost bought a cbr250r the other week. Totally not what I need but what wonders of engineering they are.

Change oil + Italian tuneup =>win

I have a 4BE1 and MXA 5 speed in the shed as it happens. 

Is it for sale? The dead motor is a 4.3l. 4hf1? Or something like that.

If you can find me a new donk for my elf for a reasonable price, you can come grab it when you need it @dmulally

Cops around here don't seem to care about that licenses and rego etc, never know when that will change though.

They really should invest in one of those right angle magnet thingies

Would you consider dropping a Honda engine in it?

Speaking of Suzis, here's a van that's been converted to a Ute, with a hatch that opens to become part of the roof for barbecuing.

That looks fun, I haven't sen this b4.

I'd like something similar.  It would be a proper treat for my neighbour who likes to play drums at night.

You don't notice it after the headache from inhaling zinc sets in.

I flew a 400 once and it was a blast. I think people get all macho about it being a scooter, but they're so fun and you get way better weather protection.

70s looks like a g2

I decided it was time to finally totally strip the bike. That didn't take too long. I posted about it on my YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/c/asciimation) 

I recognise that channel, we were talking about your beer cooler the other day.

Escooter motors are cheap on aliexpress, just needs a cheap pwm speed controller.
