haha, nice! That thing looks dangerous, yet very fuel efficient.

Interesting! There's a 1976 Yamaha Chappy sitting in my garage. It also has a 50cc 2-stroke mill in it. It will hit speeds approaching 25 mph.

It seems very scary, apparently does 35mph on bicycle tires. Ive yet to ride it, been sitting for probably 10 years so took the carb out for cleaning. everything does look to be in one piece on it though so shouldnt be hard to get it going again.
